In this episode, Sam and Will talk about the doctrine of hell and why our culture’s images of it can be very different from what the Bible teaches. They explain why hell matters for understanding the cross, God’s wrath against sin, and why Jesus talked about hell so often. You’ll hear hell described as self-chosen separation from God, including the loss of God’s goodness and common grace. They also walk through key Bible language and images, including “Gehenna,” and Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16. The conversation ends with hope, calling listeners to abide in Christ (John 15) and describing the Christian life as being transformed “from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). If you are new to Christianity, let this push you to take God seriously and to run to Jesus instead of running from Him. If this helped you, share it with a friend who is Bible-curious and wants a simple starting point.
