When you accepted Jesus (assuming you did) when you said “yes” and gave your life to Christ, was it in response to an invitation born out of love for God and gratitude for what Christ did for you on the cross? Or was it driven primarily by a fear of hell?

That’s a big question.

Because I preach such a strong message of grace, I often get labeled as someone who doesn’t believe in hell. When people ask me, “Do you believe in hell?” my answer is simple: “Yes, I do.”

But then I like to turn the question back to them: “Tell me, what is hell?”

What usually follows is a flood of ideas (many of them dramatic, terrifying, or even grotesque) but far too often, those ideas aren’t grounded in the Bible at all.

And that’s a problem we need to address..
