Jesus spoke about hell because He loves us enough to warn us.
Matthew 25:46
"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
John 3:36
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life."
2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is… not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
The reality of hell is not meant to crush us — it is meant to drive us to Jesus, who took our punishment and offers us life.
Father, thank You for sending Jesus to rescue me. Help me share this good news urgently and lovingly. Amen.
