How do we know that there is a place called hell?

In the sermon, it is emphasized that hell is a real place of eternal torment. Jesus taught about hell multiple times, warning of its reality and the consequences of rejecting Him. The understanding of hell is rooted in Scripture, exemplified by passages where Jesus speaks about the fate of the wicked. The truth of hell serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the justice of God, ultimately pointing believers to the grace found in Christ who bore the punishment for sin on the cross.
