Scripture consistently reveals hell as the real, eternal consequence of rejecting God — a reality Jesus spoke about more than anyone else.
Scripture on Hell
Matthew 25:46
New Testament
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Revelation 20:15
New Testament
"Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."
Matthew 10:28
New Testament
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
Isaiah 66:24
Old Testament
"And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
New Testament
"He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might."
The Bottom Line
Hell is God taking our choice seriously — if we reject Him in this life, He honors that decision for eternity.

Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray with boldness and honesty (Matthew 6:9-13).
Father, the reality of hell shakes me. Thank You that You don't want anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. I confess I've minimized this truth or stayed silent when I should have spoken. Give me courage to share the gospel with clarity and compassion. Help me live with the urgency this truth demands. In Jesus' name, Amen.
