WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT HELL?


There are many verses in the Bible that discuss the subject of Hell. It is not a place where anyone wants to spend eternity, so it is important for Christians to know the Scriptures describing this horrible place.

Revelation 21:8
1.“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Matthew 25:46
2. "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
 

Thessalonians 1:9
3. “They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power.”

Matthew 13:50
4. “…and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
 

Acts 2:27Mark 9:43
5. “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.”

Jude 1:7
6. “In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.”
 

Proverbs 15:24
7. “The path of life leads upward for the wise to keep him from going down to the grave.”

Proverbs 23:14
8. “Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.”

Matthew 13:42
9. “They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
 

Matthew 25:41
10. "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels'.”
 

Revelation 19:20
11. “But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.”

Proverbs 15:11
12. “Death and Destruction lie open before the LORD-- how much more the hearts of men!”

Matthew 16:19
13. “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

2 Peter 2:4
14. “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;”

Revelation 20:13-14
15. “The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.”

Matthew 10:28
16. “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Ezekiel 18:20
17. “The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.”
