          • “Hell is not a place people are sent to, but a place people choose to go to”  
            by Pastor Young-Gi Choi 
                 "If God is love, how can He send people to Hell?" This is a question non-believers often ask. For this reason, there are some who say they are Christians but deny the existence of hell. Some say that evil people don't go to hell after they die, they just cease to exist. However, Jesus did not say that the wicked will become nothing after they die, nor did he say that they will be given a chance to be regenerated, instead, he said that they will go to hell and suffer eternally. 
                 Heaven is a place where God's mercy, love, and forgiveness reigns. Therefore, when God controls our hearts, our hearts become heaven, when He rules our families, our homes become heaven, and when He rules our house church, the house church becomes heaven. The kingdom of heaven we go to after we die is the place where God's reign in this world is complete - we have only had a taste of this while in the world. 
                  Likewise, hell is a place where our relationship with God is completely separated. If we are completely separated from God's warmth, forgiveness, and mercy we cannot help but be in complete suffering. No matter how evil this world is, we are currently still under the grace of God. A complete separation from this grace is hell. Those who have fallen into deep despair in this world will have had a taste of hell. Hell is the place where such despair and suffering are complete. 
                 Jesus described hell to be a burning place however, this is likely only a symbol, because hell was also described to be a cold and dark place (Matthew 22:13). Jesus' intention is to express that, just like being thrown into a lake of fire, hell is a place of extreme suffering. 
                 Therefore, it is not really accurate to say that God sends wicked people to hell. The wicked have chosen hell for themselves. From the moment God created man, he respected man's right to choose. God cannot force anyone in this world who hates or rejects Him to come under his rule or force him to go to heaven. So, hell is a place where people who reject God, choose to go to themselves.
