Why does God send people to hell? The Bible says that God created hell for Satan and the wicked angels who rebelled against Him, but there are people in hell also. Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Both angelic beings and human beings are in hell for the same reason, sin.

Amen. Peter makes it clear that we have received our gifts from God for two purposes— to serve others and to bring praise to God. Serving isn’t about us receiving attention or glory; it is for Him to receive glory. How does God receive glory when we serve? The transforming power of Jesus Christ is on display in the lives of those who have traded selfishness for selflessness. Peter says believers...
