Scripture reveals that hell is real, eternal, and the consequence of rejecting Christ — but God offers a way to escape it.
Scripture on Going To Hell
Matthew 25:41
New Testament
"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"
Revelation 20:15
New Testament
"If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Mark 9:47-48
New Testament
"If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched."
Romans 6:23
New Testament
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
John 3:36
New Testament
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them."
The Bottom Line
Your eternal destination is determined by whether you've trusted Jesus as Lord, not by how good you've tried to be.

Stop assuming you're fine spiritually and actually examine yourself: Do you genuinely trust Jesus, or are you just hoping things work out?
Prayer
Jesus invites us to come to Him with our deepest fears: 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28).
Father, the reality of judgment is heavy, and I can't ignore it. I confess that I've lived for myself, not for You, and that deserves condemnation. I believe Jesus died and rose again to save me from what I deserve. I turn from my sin and trust Him as my Lord. Give me clarity about where I truly stand with You — and the courage to live like Jesus is my only hope. In Jesus' name, Amen.
📚 Read John 3 — it contains Jesus' clearest teaching on the choice between eternal life and judgment.
