Hell is the place of everlasting punishment/endless torments God has prepared for satan, fallen angels and those people who died without repenting of their sins, while they lived. Sin, condemns people to hell and deprives them enjoying the glorious presence/ blessings of God. The main reason Jesus came to the earth was to die for our sins and save us from this everlasting punishment/torments of hell.

If we refuse to truly repent and turn to God, He will laugh and mock us on the Day of judgement. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: Proverbs 1:25-26; Isaiah 63:3; Matthew 10:33 3. THE CERTAINTY OF HELL Contrary to what some religious and Christian groups believe, teach ,and propagate, the reality of the existence and punishments of hell fire is unquestionably and truly biblical. Jesus insisted that heaven and earth will pass away but His Father’s word, will and purpose will remain unchanging. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: Psalm 119:89; Matthew 224:35; Luke 21:33;Matthew 13:39-42; Matthew 25:30,46; Matthew 3:10,12; Matthew 5:22,29; Matthew 7:13; Matthew 8:12,29; Matthew 10:28; Jude v 7; Mark 9:43-48; John 5:28-29;Matthew 22:13; Matthew 23:33; Revelation 20:14-15; Proverbs 5:5; Proverbs 15:24; Proverbs 9:18; Isaiah 14:15; Proverbs 27:20; Job 26:6; Psalm 9:17; Luke 10:15; Matthew 16:18; Revelation 1:18. 4. God will reward sin with hell fire. He will not cover unconfessed sins. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: Romans 9:22; Zephaniah 1:1-16 5. The punishment of hell will be forever. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: Revelation 20:10-15; 1 Peter 3:19; Matthew 25:41,46; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; Revelation 14:9-11; Mark 9:44 The eternal punishment of the unrepentant sinners is what the bible calls the second death. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:8 6. The cross is the only way to avoid the punishment of hell. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: John 3:16-17,36; Colossians 1:13-14,20-23; Ephesians 1:7; Proverbs 8:34-35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 3:3,5 OUR RESPONSE: To avoid the painful and humiliating sufferings of enduring punishment of hell we need to immediately repent/turn away from sins, worldliness and totally surrender our whole lives to God and believe Him for true and complete salvation. SCRIPTURAL SEARCH: 1 John 1:9; Ezekiel 18:21-23,27-28,30-32 CONCLUSION: Friends, Hell is a real place and not imaginary as some suggest, believe, teach and propagate. It is not a temporal place of divine punishment but a place of everlasting torments, punishment and separation from the glory, blessings and life of a Holy God. It is actually a place of enduring sufferings and misery and that probably explains why Jesus, our Lord and saviour spent more time, energy and resources strongly warning people against the dangerous of hell than the glory of His Heavenly Kingdom.
