How do we know hell is real and not just a concept?

Answered in 1 source

The reality of hell is affirmed in numerous scriptural references, where God's judgment is depicted as eternal and unyielding for the unrepentant.

The doctrine of hell as a literal place of punishment is supported throughout the Bible. Jesus Himself spoke of hell in vivid terms, warning of the eternal consequences for those who do not heed God's call to repentance. For instance, in Matthew 25:46, He indicates that those who reject Him will go away into eternal punishment, emphasizing that hell is not merely symbolic but a real consequence of sin. The sermon draws upon examples of divine judgment, asserting that God's commitment to justice ensures that unrepentant hearts will experience the reality of hell, which includes torment and separation from God. If one doubts the reality of hell, they will ultimately be convinced of its existence, as affirmed in God's warnings throughout Scripture, particularly when judgment is executed during the final day.
