Why did God create hell?
Hi challenger, you asked if god is compassionate and loving then why did he create hell? Well God is a Holy God as well as a compassionate God. Not only is He Holy, but He is also just. This means that God demands justice for all sins. Unless our sins are forgiven by Jesus, we will stand in judgement for our sins and hell is the place of punishment. Jesus said,
"And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." - Matthew 25:46
It is important to understand that God sees sin much worse than we do. However, His love for people is also greater. God is so awesome! That is why He sent Jesus to die on a cross for us. Everyone who asks for forgiveness can receive a "pardon" for sin if they ask Him. Amen.
