If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.

I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.

It is a very remarkable fact that no inspired preacher of whom we have any record ever uttered such terrible words concerning the destiny of the lost as our Lord Jesus Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon

I believe that a great number of people are going to die and go to hell because they’re counting on their religiosity in the church instead of their relationship with Jesus to get them to heaven. They give lip service to repentance and faith, but they’ve never been born again.

Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his.

Your damnation is your own election, not God’s.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.
– Billy Graham
Evangelism | Hell
When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city.
– Charles Finney
Revival | Hell | Apathy
Multitudes of people who expect to go to Heaven will go to a Hell of torment. Thousands of “good” people, “moral” people, church members, even church workers – yes, and, alas, even prophets, priests and preachers – will find themselves lost when they expected to be saved, condemned when they expected approval, cast out of Heaven when they expected to be received into eternal bliss. That is the explicit meaning of the words of our Lord… [Spoken in Matthew 7:21-23.]

I cannot preach on hell unless I preach with tears.
– Dwight L. Moody
Preaching | Hell
Don’t say that a loving God is going to send you to hell – He’s not. The thing that’s going to send you to hell is that you’re a sinner and you don’t want to admit it.
– J. Vernon McGee

The saddest road to hell is the one that runs under the pulpit, past the Bible, and through the middle of warnings and invitations.

Hell
Hell is paved with good intentions.
– Martin Luther
Hell
Having held the glory of God in contempt through ingratitude and distrust and disobedience, (those without Christ) are sentenced to be excluded from the enjoyment of that glory forever and ever in the eternal misery of hell.
– John Piper

If I never spoke of hell, I should think I had kept back something that was profitable, and should look on myself as an accomplice of the devil.

The lost enjoy forever the horrible freedom they have demanded.

Then I saw that there was a way to Hell, even from the gates of Heaven.

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell.
– Thomas Aquinas
Hell
The hell of hells will be the thought that is forever. The soul sees written over its head, “You are damned forever.” It hears howlings that are to be perpetual; it sees flames which are unquenchable; it knows pains that are unmitigated.
– Charles Spurgeon
Hell
None sink so far into hell as those that come nearest heaven, because they fall from the greatest heights.
– William Gurnall

If not washed in Christ’s blood and clothed in his righteousness, no heaven for you, no heaven for me.
– William Tiptaft

The safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
– C.S. Lewis
Hell
What a compelling motive we have for prayer, for preaching, for soul winning when we learn that every responsible human being who leaves this world without a definite change in heart immediately lifts his eyes in Hell, tormented in flame!
– John R. Rice
Evangelism | Hell
If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
– Charles Spurgeon
Prayer | Intercession | Hell
The torments of hell abide for ever… If all the earth and sea were sand, and every thousandth year a bird should come, and take away one grain of this sand, it would be a long time ere that vast heap of sand were emptied; yet, if after all that time the damned may come out of hell, there were some hope; but this word EVER breaks the heart.
– Thomas Watson

Hell is as ubiquitous as condemning conscience.

As C. S. Lewis points out, the journey to hell is a process, which can begin with something as apparently innocuous as a grumbling mood.

The unsaved people will be cast into utter darkness forever.
– Tim LaHaye
Hell
I feel that if God should smite me now, without hope or offer of mercy, to the lowest hell, I should only have what I justly deserve; and I feel that if I be not punished for my sins, or if there be not some plan found by which my sin can be punished in another, I cannot understand how God can be just at all: how shall he be Judge of all the earth, if he suffer offenses to go unpunished?”
– Charles Spurgeon

If then, you will be damned, let me have this one thing as a consolation for your misery, that you are not damned for the lack of calling after; you are not lost for the lack of weeping after, and not lost for the lack of praying after.

I daresay the devil finds himself at home in Hades. But if he could be converted into a seraph, he would not stop in hell for an hour. He would never want to go there again for pleasure. Of that I am certain. And when a man who professes to be converted says that he goes into the world and into sin for pleasure, it is as if an angel went into hell for enjoyment.
– Charles Spurgeon

To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell.

Conscience which should have been the sinner’s curb here on earth becomes the sinner’s whip that will lash his soul in hell. That which was the seat and center of all guilt now becomes the seat and center of all torment.
– John Flavel
Conscience | Hell
The whole extent of hell, the present suffering, the bitter recollection of the past, the hopeless prospect of the future, will never be thoroughly known except by those who go there.
– J. C. Ryle
Hell
You are hanging over the mouth of hell by a single thread, and that thread is breaking. Only a gasp for breath, only a stopping of the heart for a single moment, and you will be in an eternal world, without God, without hope, without forgiveness. Oh, can you face it?
– Charles Spurgeon

Hell is God’s great compliment to the reality of human freedom and the dignity of human choice.

Disbelieve hell, and you unscrew, unsettle, and unpin everything in Scripture.

Hell | Scripture
A lot of people say, well how can a loving God send anyone to hell? First of all God doesn’t send anyone to hell. If we go to hell, it’s by our own choice. But when somebody says to me, how can a loving God allow anyone to go to hell, I’ll turn around and say, “Well how can a holy, just, righteous God allow sin into His presence?”
– Josh McDowell

Little sins unrepented of will damn thee as well as greater. Not only great rivers fall into the sea, but little brooks; not only greater sins carry men to hell, but lesser; therefore do not think pardon easy because sin is small.
