If God is such a loving God then why would he send unbeliever's to hell?




Let's take a look at the garden of Eden. Now this garden had many trees in it. All kinds. Even a tree of life and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. See, God wanted Adam and Eve to live forever with him. He wanted them to love him, which was the reason that they were created. God loved them and wanted to be loved in return. Now, in order for them to love him they must choose to love him. Well, one day they disobeyed God and since God is just, he punished them. They were punished in a few ways, one including death (see Genesis 3:16-19). So because of man's sin we were separated from God.

Now, if we can stand back for a moment, let's look at this. God loves man. Man sins. God loves man, so he punishes them because that is the right thing to do. God still loves man.

To go on... Man is separated from God. God doesn't like that, so he has compassion on man. God sends Jesus, His Son, to die for our sin so that we may be reunited with him. Jesus dies.

If God did not love man, then why did he send his son, Jesus Christ, to suffer ridicule, rejection, and then to die for the very people that tortured him??? Oh, what sweet love is that, my friend...

John 3:16/ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

So, God has done everything he possible can do to reunite us with himself. The only other thing that can make that possible is up to us: We must believe in him.

It is our choice to believe in him or not. It's not God's decision. If it was up to God then he certainly would have us believe in him...

1 Timothy 2:3/ This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

But if God was to decide for us then it would not be us who chose to love him. God doesn't want a forceful love, but a love that is true and good. God wants us to choose to believe in him. Then he will gladly save us and accept us into his family!
