There are some things you just don’t talk about with other people. For Christians, the reality of Hell has become one of those things. Yet Jesus was not shy about it, but warned of it earnestly and tragically. Let’s learn to do the same starting here. // 1. Why do people like the idea of Heaven but not Hell? List-off reasons why people like Heaven and don't like Hell. // 2. If you saw someone walking along train tracks and noticed a train coming their direction, what would you do? How is this similar to God warning us about the reality of hell? What if God knew hell was real, but didn’t tell us? Why are warnings like these important? // 3. Read John 3:16-21. What is the good news of Jesus? If we believe in Him, what happens? If we don’t believe in Him, what happens? Why do some people reject Him? (Hint: look at vv.19-20) // 4. Many people object to Hell because it is "unloving" of God. But think about this sentence: God is loving, but He doesn't love everything. Is it possible for God to be loving, but also hate and punish certain things? If God let everyone into Heaven, or let everyone escape punishment after death regardless of what they did, would that be fair and loving of Him?
