Scriptures: Matthew 5:22, 28-30, 24:41, 25:30, Ezekiel 33:11, 2 Peter 3:9, Hebrews 10:29, Ecclesiastes 7:20

Of the 1,850 verses in the New Testament that record the words of Jesus, thirteen percent of them deal with the subject of hell and judgment. Jesus talked more about hell than any other topic. Hell is a place of unspeakable, incomparable anguish and sorrow. It is a place of emotional anguish. Jesus said in Matthew 13:42, "And [God] will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." In this message, Dr. Merritt unpacks the reality of hell, and what it means for us.

"Hell is a place of ultimate loneliness, because you not only miss any presence of God as you know it now, you don't even experience the presence of friends. It is called a place of darkness, because in hell there is complete isolation." --Dr. Merritt
