Fear is a motivator. Fear is good for keeping children away from a busy road. Fear is also good for keeping everyone away from Hell. Jesus proclaimed, “Fear him who can ruin both soul and body in Hell” (Matt 10:28). Jesus preached more about Hell than all others in the Bible. Why? Fear of Hell is a real fear of a real place. Jesus observed that both soul and body go to ruin in Hell. On the last day, Jesus depicted a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. Hell is not a place of disembodied spirits. The unjust will rise in a body that goes to the fires and darkness of Hell where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. In context of all people in history, each person is most likely going to Hell. However, Jesus preached that life is through the narrow gate and the way is hard. Jesus wants all to come to salvation. Hell is completely just for all people who do not know God, continue in sin, and do not obey the Gospel (2 Thess 1:7–9; Heb 10:26–31). This lesson will expand on the reality of Hell and those who escape and find life.
