Is there Reality a place called Hell? The fact of sin's existence proves that there is a hell. From the Bible we learn that sin is "the transgression of the law" I John 3:4. But if there were no penalty imposed for breaking the law, the law would be worthless. Take, for example, the laws ... hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched" Mark 9:43.

These statements that he made about a literal hell of torment cannot be dismissed as inconsequential to our study. There can be no doubt that there is a real hell, for Christ taught it.
