Why is hell so awful, a place of torment? For one, it was created for Satan and his fallen angels. But even more and what people fail to realize is that hell is the complete and total absence of God and all the good that he is. There's no air in hell... because God is the breath of life.There's no water in hell... because God is the living water. There's no peace in hell... because God is the prince of peace. There's no comfort in hell... because God is the comforter.There's no love in hell... because God is love.There's no hope in hell... Because God is hope. Hell is total darkness... because God is the light.Psalm 116:3 KJB — The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.Isaiah 5:14 KJB — Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.Mark 9:43-44 KJB — ... than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.Luke 16:23-24 KJB — And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.Revelation 20:15 KJV — And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.Unlike those who died realizing too late they wrong you don't have to go there! Has anyone ever told you just how much God loves you?He does. So much so that He did something so amazing for you, something you yourself could never ever do. He died for you, a lost sinner.We are all sinners by birth because of Adam's sin, it's just who we are. Romans 3:23 KJV — For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;Romans 5:12 KJV — Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:God is perfect and holy - he can't be around sin. That's a problem because God created man to be in fellowship with Him, and we crave that connection it's the only thing that completes us. But we sin and that separates us from God. God knew we would jack it up so before the world even began he knew how he would fix our eternal problem. He'd take our place, provide himself in our place. Romans 6:23 KJV — For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Did you notice that? The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. That is the greatest love story the world has ever seen.
