Hell
Is Hell Real? What the Bible Teaches About Hell
Is Hell real? Learn what the Bible says about Hell, the wrath of God and eternal punishment, and how to escape it, through Scripture and instructional videos from renowned theologians.
Hell is real. Jesus Christ spoke about Hell more than anyone else in the Bible, and He described it as a place of outer darkness, unquenchable fire, and weeping and gnashing of teeth. It is not a myth, a metaphor, or a temporary punishment. It is the just and everlasting punishment of sinners by a holy God.
Hell exists because God is holy and just. Every sin is committed against an infinitely holy God, and He will not let the guilty go unpunished. Those who die in their sins will face His wrath forever, with no second chance and no way out.
But there is a way of escape now. Jesus Christ bore the wrath of God in the place of sinners, and everyone who repents and trusts in Him is saved from the wrath to come. The instructional videos on this page, from Jonathan Edwards, J. C. Ryle, Martyn Lloyd-Jones and others, explain what the Bible teaches about Hell and how to escape it.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hades delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11-15

For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.” Psalm 11:4-7
