What does the Bible say about eternal punishment?

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible asserts that eternal punishment for the wicked is both everlasting and irrevocable, as evidenced in passages like Matthew 25:46 and Revelation 21.

The Bible clearly teaches that eternal punishment is a reality for the unrepentant. In Matthew 25:46, Jesus states that the wicked will go away into eternal punishment, indicating that this state is as everlasting as the eternal life granted to believers. Revelation 20:10 further illustrates the finality of this punishment when it describes the devil and the wicked being tormented day and night forever. This aligns with the nature of God as everlasting; just as God's glory and righteousness are eternal, so too is the punishment of those who oppose Him. To deny the eternal aspect of punishment is to undermine the truth of God's nature and justice.
