Over the years, I have visited with people who had quit coming to church services on a regular basis. Often, I’ve found individuals having health issues which kept them from attending worship, but others readily confessed forsaking their duty to the Lord. Some felt convicted by their failings and promised to return, others gave halfhearted excuses indicating their unlikely repentance.
However, the most unnerving response is when they attempted to laugh off their guilt by anxiously joking, “Do you think I’m going to Hell?” or, “Oh, I hope I don’t go to hell!” While I understood, they were belittling my effort to encourage them back, it indicated a frightening attitude. I thought, “Are you really going to laugh about going to hell?”
All of us should stop and consider Jesus’ warnings about hell. The most infamous characteristic is that God designed it to torture Satan and his demons with extreme pain and anguish through a super-fire. He called it “a furnace of fire,” (Mt 13:42,50); “a Lake of fire,” (Rev 20:15); and a “fire and brimstone [burning sulfur/lava]” (Rev 14:10).

Added to the pain and anguish will be the awful sense of shame (Dan 12:2), loneliness, and hopelessness. It will be a dark solitary-confinement type of existence: “a punishment greater than death without mercy” (Heb 10:26-29, Jas 2:13); “for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever” (Jude 13). It will be hopeless, because they will be separated from the only possible Savior.
In a sense, the Bible teaches everyone who goes to hell will arrive there because they laughed at hell, meaning they laughed at Jesus, who tried to SAVE them. Let us all reconsider our souls…seriously.
