Question:
The question always arises
that if God loves us so much, why would He ever send a person to a place
like hell?
Answer:
Well the answer is simple.
It is not God's desire that any person should suffer an eternity in hell.
The Bible says, "He is patient
with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance"
2
Peter 3:9
Hell was prepared originally
for the devil and his angels Matthew 25:41.
However, God will not force
anyone to go to heaven. If a person willfully refuses to repent of sin
and turn to God, with faith in Jesus' sacrifice for the sins of the world,
God has no alternative.
Justice demands
that those who disregard and reject God's loving offer of pardon will pay
the penalty for their own sins forever in hell.
Has this question caused
you to delay making a choice to follow God?
Why not choose eternal life
now!
The Bible says, "Now is the
time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation" 2
Corinthians 6:2.
