What can we know biblically about hell?

Summary

The sermon explores the reality of hell, described by Jesus through pictorial language like outer darkness and fire to denote pain and isolation. Scripture suggests this reality is more awful than the pictures, representing a complete alienation from God and the culmination of hatred, contrasting with the flourishing of believers in the new heavens and earth. The takeaway emphasizes the need for contemporary Christians to regain a serious awe for God's holiness, which has been lost in many churches focused on pleasure.
