Those who will go to hell include any who are not obedient to God and have not received salvation from Him. The Bible makes it clear that the unrighteous and disobedient will not receive the reward of eternal life in heaven but will rather be punished eternally in hell.
| Matthew 7:13 |
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it . |
| Matthew 10:28 |
And
do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell. |
| Philippians 3:18,19 |
For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you
even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross
of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame -- who set their mind
on earthly things. |
| 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 |
since it is a righteous thing with God to
repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give
you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming
fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God,
and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, |
| 2 Peter 2:1,3-7,9-10,12-14,17 |
But
there were also false prophets among the people, even
as there will be false teachers among you, who
will ...bring on themselves swift destruction.... for a
long time their judgment has not been idle, and their
destruction does not slumber. For if God did not
spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and
delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for
judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved
Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness,
bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and
turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned
them to destruction, making them an example to those who
afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous
Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the
wicked....then the Lord knows how to deliver
the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust
under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially
those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous,
self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of
dignitaries....But these, like natural brute beasts made to be
caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not
understand, and will utterly perish in their own
corruption, and will receive the wages of
unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in
the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their
own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes
full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing
unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous
practices, and are accursed children....These are wells
without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is
reserved the blackness of darkness
forever. |
