How could a loving God send people to hell?

I get this question frequently. You would think that by the beautiful earth and pleasures in life. That people would realize God loves us. Never-the-less this question takes God being “just” out of the equation and skews love altogether. If there were a judge who decided to let a murderer go free to be nice. We would not call him good. But we want God to let all our vile wicked sin go free in order to be a good God. That is not right, God is just, so we do deserve hell. Luke of a man in hell saying “in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments” Luke 16:23. So we know that hell is not simply a grave but certainly a place of torment. “The wicked shall be turned into hell Psalm 9:17″ We know that wicked will go there, so what makes one wicked or how do I determine if I am wicked? Most of us think we are pretty good. Have you ever lied?stole something? lusted? “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8″. Just so we are clear all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all deserve hell that is why our just loving God died for us to be reconciled to him. He wants us to have a relationship with him and enjoy his company. We can have a relationship with God by trusting Jesus as our savior. You should open your heart to God and tell him you know you have sinned, and deserve hell but want to be saved because Jesus-God himself sacrificed his life for your sins. “with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
