There is a reason that the Bible uses the concept of fire in association with Hell. Fire is awful, painful, and terrifying. C.S. Lewis said of hell, “There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than [hell], if it lay in my power.” But he also recognized that hell is a necessary part of God’s goodness and justice.

A skeptic or enemy of Christianity may hear that and ask, "Why would a loving God send anyone to Hell?"

Can a reality of hell be compatible with a good God? Let's study the Bible together.
