Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?

If God is love, how can He send anyone to hell?

It’s one of the most difficult and emotionally charged questions people ask about the Christian faith. Many imagine that divine love and divine judgment stand in tension, as if God must choose between being merciful or being just. But what if that’s a false choice? What if judgment is not the opposite of love, but its expression?

In this episode, Roland takes listeners on a journey through Scripture and reason to explore the character of God — His holiness, His justice, and His love. He shows that hell is not a contradiction of God’s goodness but a necessary consequence of rejecting it. A God who is indifferent to evil could not be truly loving.

Through clear biblical teaching and thoughtful reflection, this conversation reveals how the reality of hell magnifies both the beauty of the cross and the depth of grace. The same Jesus who warned about judgment is the One who endured it for us — offering mercy to all who believe.

Far from being a doctrine of fear, the truth about hell leads to humility, compassion, and worship. It reminds us that sin is serious, grace is costly, and salvation is a gift we could never earn.

“When people ask, ‘How can a loving God send people to hell?’ the truth is—He’s done everything possible so you don’t have to go there.
 Love warned you. Love died for you. And love still calls you today.”

This is not a discussion meant to shame or scare, but to awaken wonder at the holiness and mercy of God. If you’ve ever wrestled with the fairness of hell, the meaning of justice, or the depth of divine love, this episode will help you see how the gospel holds it all together — truth without compromise, grace without dilution.
