Fires of Hell

Given God is omnipresent, (i.e., God is present everywhere) and given that hell is somewhere, God is there. The damned are not separated from God while in hell, but they are separated from God’s mercy, subject only to his righteous justice. God is there, seeing to the right, just, and eternal punishment of those who did not take advantage of the one and only way to be saved, to believe. Revelation 14:10 says “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.” So, is it true God is in hell?

Conclusion; True! Now, as for the people in hell, we may ask was it their fault for not believing, or did God not “choose” to save them? Romans 1:24-28 says without God’s Holy Spirit’s intervention, man leans evil. “Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. And in verse 28 Paul continues “And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” Without God’s merciful gift of faith, we cannot believe. We will be found guilty and sentenced in God’s perfect judgement, without a reprieve by the Christ.
