How do we know that hell is eternal?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture describes hell as a place of everlasting punishment, confirming its eternal nature.

The concept of hell as an eternal reality is firmly rooted in biblical texts. In Luke 16:26, Abraham indicates that there is a 'great gulf fixed' between heaven and hell, implying a permanent separation with no possibility of crossing over. Furthermore, Jesus describes hell in Matthew 25:46 as a place of 'everlasting punishment,' while the righteous will enter 'life eternal.' This notion reinforces the sovereign grace theology that emphasizes the immutability of God's decrees regarding judgment and salvation, affirming that once a soul is destined for hell, there can be no change in their state for all eternity.
