How can the traditional view of hell be just? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we explore this difficult question.
Sermon Discussion Questions
- Have you ever struggled with the “fairness” of the traditional view of eternal punishment in hell?
- What is one thing highlight from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
- Our sermon laid out two fundamental questions that we have to answer before we can talk about the justice of hell. In what ways is a discussion on hell first and foremost about “who God is” and “what sin is”?
- This Sunday’s sermon listed two “alternatives” to the traditional view of hell: universalism (all will be saved) and annihilationism (those not saved will cease to exist). How are these two positions the result of different views of God and sin?
- Read Exodus 34:5–7. How does God describe himself in this passage?
- Read Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1–2; 1 John 3:4. How does the Bible describe sin in these passages?
- Our sermon listed five different statements about the justice of hell. Which of these is most surprising? Which one stuck out to you most?
- In what way does hell declare the absolute glory of God?
