“Of all the doctrines in Christianity, Hell is probably the most difficult to defend, the most burdensome to believe and the first to be abandoned.” -Peter Kreeft, Handbook of Christian Apologetics

Lazarus - "Whom God has helped"
Rich man - a rich man

Sin is choosing our way over God's.

Unquenchable fire
Utter darkness
Weeping and gnashing of teeth

"Hell is the great monument to human freedom." - CS Lewis

Part of God's love is revealed in His justice.

"How can God be loving and just?"
"How can God be loving without being just?"

“There are only two kinds of people – those who say, ‘Thy will be done’ to God or those to whom God in the end says, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are in Hell choose it. Without that self-choice it wouldn’t be Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it.” -C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain/The Great Divorce “There are only two kinds of people – those who say, ‘Thy will be done’ to God or those to whom God in the end says, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are in Hell choose it.

How could a God of justice allow any of us into Heaven?

Jesus took the weight of Hell upon himself so that we don't have to.
