What does the Bible say about eternal punishment?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that eternal punishment is a reality for those who reject Christ, as seen in the accounts of judgment in hell.

Eternal punishment is a sobering truth outlined in Scripture, particularly in parables and teachings of Jesus. In Luke 16:22-24, the rich man in torment cries out for mercy, which illustrates the eternal consequence of dying outside of faith in Christ. Matthew 25:46 further reinforces this idea, stating, 'And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.' This clearly delineates the finality of judgment and the serious implications of rejecting the gospel. The Scriptures present hell as a place of conscious torment, emphasizing the weight of sin and the necessity of repentance and faith in Jesus for escape from this fate.
