| A Loving God |
| Sometimes unbelievers raise the question, “How could a loving God send people to hell?” |
| As far as God being a God of love, they are absolutely correct. “God is love” (1 John 4:8). |
| But, God is also holy. “God is light” (1 John 1:5). He hates sin. He cannot allow sin into heaven. “O mighty God … Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity” (Habakkuk 1:12-13). Here is what the Lord said on the subject when here on earth: “Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot com … I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:21, 24). |
| God, in His great love, has provided a way of escape from hell. “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9). |
| God does not send people to hell. If you choose not to believe on His Son, God simply acts on your choice. Make the right choice, right now! |
