IF GOD IS ALL-LOVING HOW CAN HE CREATE HELL FIRE 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Hell is reserved for those who have declared God as their enemy. God is a judge . 

1. GOD’S LOVE IS NOT OPPOSED TO JUSTICE

God is love (1 John 4:8)—but He is also holy (Isaiah 6:3) and just (Psalm 89:14). A loving God does not ignore evil. Just as a good judge punishes crime, God must respond to sin. Hell is the just consequence of a person’s freely chosen rejection of God’s offer of salvation. Romans 2:5 (AMP): “But because of your callous stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are [deliberately] storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.”

2. HELL WAS NOT MADE FOR HUMANS

Originally, hell was created for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). But those who willfully reject God align themselves with Satan’s rebellion and thus face the same judgment.

3. GOD RESPECTS HUMAN FREEDOM

Love requires free will. God does not force anyone to love Him or accept His grace. Hell is, in a sense, the eternal result of a person saying, “I don’t want God.” C.S. Lewis said, “The doors of hell are locked from the inside.”

2 Peter 3:9 (AMP): “The Lord...is not wanting anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance.”

God gives people every chance to choose life—but He will not violate their freedom.

4. HELL MAGNIFIES THE BEAUTY OF SALVATION

Without a true alternative, the message of the Cross loses urgency. Jesus went through hell on the Cross to save us from it. The existence of hell shows the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the seriousness of sin.

Summary:

Hell is not incompatible with God’s love—it’s actually a tragic expression of human freedom in rejecting that love. God doesn’t want anyone to go there, which is why He gave His Son to make a way out.

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and wisdom to live in righteousness.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome temptation.
