The Heaven Answer Book

Why would a loving God send anyone to Hell?

I f you think about it, people actually send themselves to Hell through their rebellion and unbelief in Jesus Christ. But let me assure you: God doesn’t want us to go there. The subject of Heaven is much easier for us to accept than the subject of Hell—yet the Bible teaches both. It may surprise you to discover that no one taught about or warned us against Hell more than Jesus—and we should take His words very seriously. Some teach that everyone will eventually be saved, because a God of love would never send anyone to Hell. They contend that words like eternal and everlasting do not actually mean forever . However, the same word in the Bible that speaks of eternal banishment from God in Hell is also used to describe the eternal bliss of Heaven.
