The creation of hell

[Blood Bought 1953]

 What do all people in Hell share.....the sin of unbelief.All the sins of mankind were paid for by Christ on the Cross.Unbelieth made it of no benefit to them.When the damned realize all they had to do was to say” yes “ to s free gift, their torment will be all the greater.

Once in hell, the lost person does not "turn to God" for mercy.  He/she is in their natural state for eternity.  Eternally the enemy of God

this is the only point that really matters.

The fact that they will never want to be God's friend, and they will continue to want to be evildoers. Therefore they are dangerous, and they can't stay in the same place with people who listen to God's suggestions.

God did create hell, for the devil and his angels, it is place for those savage spirits that war against God and His creation: 

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:41) 

And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.“ (Revelation 20:10) 

“For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;” (2 Peter 2:4)

“And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—“ (Jude 1:6) 

“They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” (2 Thessalonians 1:9) 

“And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:46)

”And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’” (Mark 9:43, 48)

”And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” (Revelation 14:11)

 

“And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.” (Revelation 19:20) 

 

“And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15)

 

Hell and torment is part of God’s justice. God had to satisfy justice for our sins by dying on a cross, but those who refuse this grace are absorbed to join the fallen angels in the inferno. If Jesus did not punish and send the wicked to the fire then salvation and His death was in vain. If Hitler and the devil got to be with us on the New Jerusalem and heaven that would be unfair to those who stood firm in the faith. 

 

God created hell initially for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41) because of their abominable behavior (Genesis 6:4-6). He then adds those who take the mark of the beast and who choose to be Jos enemy after he offers grace and love (Revelation 14:11, Revelation 20:15). 

 

Hell is part of God’s love. Without it, we would be abused to have to live with Hitler and other evil beings. 

 

Another way way to put it is this. When you have a birthday party do you invite people who love you and care about you or do you invite people who hate you, mock you, and want you to be hurt? The answer is obvious. The same goes for Jesus, He’s having a party (Revelation 19:6-9) and He has sent RSVPs to all people, but the only ones who get into the party are those who RSVP and love Him back and receive His grace through faith.
