Why Would a Loving God Send People to Hell?

To understand what Hell is, you first need to understand what God is: not a creature, but the Creator and Source of everything. Everything you enjoy in this life—love, friendship, or peace—is an indirect experience of the pure light and love from that Source. But in Heaven, you experience all of it directly, coming straight from God—blowing your mind for all eternity!

Hell, on the other hand, is the logical outcome of a world without God—no love, no light, no peace. Why would a loving God want to send you there? He doesn’t! He didn’t create you for that. People send themselves there!

As C.S. Lewis said, Hell is locked from the inside. If you could somehow open the gates of Hell, the people who are behind them would not choose to go to Heaven. They already are where they are most comfortable, far from the presence of God. It’s the natural consequence of turning away from a pure Love that would never force Himself on anyone.

Byzantine theology describes Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory as the fire of God’s love. In Hell, the fire of God’s love burns you, because you have rejected it. In Purgatory, you’ve been saved, but you need the fire to purify you before you enter the wedding banquet that is Heaven. In Heaven, you are totally at one with the fire of God’s love forever. And that’s His dream for you.

Remember, He wants us all in Heaven so badly that He died to make it happen. Do you believe it? Do you accept it? The choice is yours.

Wow, Chris. This is brilliant in its clarity and simplicity. “Do you believe it? Do you accept it? The choice is yours.” So true. Thank you and God bless you and the whole Real Life Catholic ministry team!

Such clarity! God Bless you, Chris. I love the imagery of the fire. It is indeed purifying if we choose to go through it to God. 🙏🙏🙏

“Lord Jesus, with Your grace, help me get there to be with You for eternity. In Your most precious name, I pray. Amen”.

Thank you Chris, for reminding us everyday of God’s love and what’s waiting for us. Free will.

Excellent explanation Chris. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your ministry.

[elaineborn]

Thank you for this explanation, Chris.

It cannot be better than this. And given in 2minutes? It took me over 30mins to answer this question in a youth session and I may have confused them the more. This must be God's Spirit working overtime in a heart constantly saying "Yes" to God.
God bless you and all that you do for God, Chris. Thank you.

Reading C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce" is as near as anything to explaining "hell"...or as he says in the short story, "the grey city". a great read and highly recommend it.

[Demonoicgamer]

I assure you just cause I don’t love god that doesn’t mean I don’t want to love at all. Also I’m glad you agree it’s not about justice but rather if you love god or not.

[leilanithirang]

Jesus is our Savior:) Thanks be to God for saving us.Amen:)

“He’ll is unlocked from the inside.”

I’d like to believe this, but what about the story of the rich man and Lazarus? The rich man actually asked to leave hell so he could witness.

Wonderful ! Best concise explanation of this topic I’ve found on youtube.
