Is Preaching Hell Scare Tactics?

---

If preaching hell is scare tactics, then Jesus is guilty. He preached on hell more than anyone else in the Bible.

Warning someone of impending danger is a message of love. Why would someone preach or teach on this very difficult topic? Some people just won’t respond to the message of how much God loves them. This group of people will often respond by knowing the wrath that is to come—if they refuse to repent.

Jesus showed grace to the humble, and the law to the proud. (Rom.3:19; Jam.4:6) What lies ahead for those who haven’t repented (Luke13:3) should scare any rational person. Jude 23 says “and save others with fear, pulling them out of the fire…”

The point is, whatever it takes for a person to get saved, just get saved! Repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior!
