What does the Bible say about hellfire and brimstone preaching?

The concept of hellfire and brimstone preaching draws from biblical condemnation of sin, particularly as illustrated by the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It serves not merely to instill fear of hell, but to lead sinners—who, by nature, deserve God's wrath—to seek refuge in Jesus Christ, the only one who can save them. This preaching is rooted in the truth that those who believe in the Son have everlasting life, while those who do not will face the wrath of God as outlined in John 3:36. The ultimate aim is to point to the love and salvation found in Christ.
