How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?

Preacher:
Passage: John 3:16-19

When C.S. Lewis thought about hell, he said, “There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power.” Many people are uncomfortable with the idea that a loving God would sentence people to an eternity of suffering, but Jesus spoke about hell twice as much as everyone else in the Bible combined. He describes hell as a place we choose to go, but the good news is that God chooses to deliver us from hell out of his limitless love.
