How do we know the doctrine of hell is true?

Answered in 12 sources

The doctrine of hell is affirmed through various biblical texts, including the teachings of Jesus in parables such as Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31).

The truth of the doctrine of hell is supported by numerous biblical passages that affirm its reality. Jesus Himself spoke frequently about hell, warning of the eternal consequences of sin and the fate of the unrepentant. In the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31), our Lord vividly illustrates the torment of the rich man in hell, shedding light on the dimensions of eternal judgment. The parable is not merely illustrative but serves as a profound and serious warning about the fate awaiting those who reject God’s mercy. Furthermore, the use of metaphorical language around hell in Scripture—while symbolic—points to a real and terrifying existence apart from God. The cumulative weight of biblical teaching on the subject reinforces the necessity of understanding hell not as a mere allegory but as a true reality that underscores the urgency of the gospel message.
