What does the Bible say about the lost being in hell?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that those who are in hell were never Christ's sheep and are not considered lost in the same sense as those who Christ seeks to save.
According to the sermon, the Bible emphasizes that Jesus came to seek and save the lost, which refers to those who are His sheep. The teaching suggests that the lost in a biblical sense are actually those who belong to Christ but have not yet been found. Those that end up in hell were never His sheep to begin with, categorized instead as vessels of destruction. Therefore, there are no 'lost' in hell in the sense of those for whom Christ has atoned. Christ’s mission is exemplified in John 10, where He states that He will lose none of those given to Him by the Father.
