What does the Bible say about God's justice and hell?

The Scriptures reveal that God's nature encompasses both love and justice. While many may argue that a loving God would never send anyone to hell, the truth of the matter is that God's justice mandates punishment for sin. As stated in Malachi 1:6, God does not change, and therefore His standards of holiness and justice remain constant. Those whom He condemns are those whom He never loved with the redeeming love bestowed upon His elect. Therefore, hell exists not because God's love is absent, but because His justice must be upheld.
