How can a loving God send people to hell?

About this episode

Pastor David Bootsma explores the complex question of how a loving God can send people to hell, discussing God's character and the gospel's hopeful message.

How can a loving God send people to hell? It’s one of the most honest—and difficult—questions people ask about the Christian faith. In this seminar, Pastor David Bootsma walks through what the Bible actually teaches about God’s love, justice, and the reality of hell. Rather than avoiding the tension, this seminar and Q&A leans into it—exploring how God’s character is perfectly both loving and just, and how the gospel offers a real and hopeful answer. You’ll be challenged to think deeply, wrestle honestly, and see how grace stands at the center of it all. Whether you’re skeptical, searching, or looking to better understand your faith, this seminar invites you to consider the bigger picture of who God is and what He has done for us in Christ. 📍 Recorded at Free Grace Vernon 🔔 Subscribe for more sermons, teachings, and resources 📺 Watch more: YouTube.com/FreeGraceVernon #FreeGraceVernon #Christianity #FaithQuestions #Gospel #Theology #HeavenAndHell #Grace
