As we conclude our series regarding hell, the question of “Why is hell necessary?” was one that had to be asked. Though I don’t believe I have all the answers, hell is clearly a place we were never designed to go to in the first place. Many questions can sprout from the topic of hell and I’ll be the first to tell you there are many answers out there for those who struggle with that. The goal of this episode wasn’t to answer every question but to describe the reality of what absence from God looks like. We often forget we still live under God’s ultimate authority and protection on earth. Hell is complete separation from God in all ways. There is no good left to cling onto because you’ve separated yourself from the creator of all things good. This God wants nothing more than for you to embrace his goodness and find refuge under his care. All you have to do is understand He is the only reason you are getting into heaven through Jesus Christ. There is nothing you can do on this world that comes remotely close to deserving enteral life, God understood this. That is why He sacrificed himself through Jesus to make the impossible now possible.
