Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

You're listening to Daily Truth.

This is important for us to understand, to have a biblical theology of hell.

Hell is not hell because God's not there.

Hell is hell because God is there, but he is there in his wrath, in his justice,

in his judgment of the sinner. David even says in the Psalms, where can I go from your presence?

That if I'm cast into the depths of the sea, you are there, which Jonah lived out. Jonah cries out from the belly

of the whale, the fish, the great fish, and God hears his cry. So whether you're in the belly of

the sea, or whether you're on the top of a mountain, or whether you're in the depths of shield,

David says. There's no place that you can go where God's presence is not.

Now, even from just a logical standpoint, we know that this is true because God is infinite.

God is God. He is the creator who is blessed forever. Amen.

That is, he is not a finite creature, but rather the infinite creator.

And one of the aspects, the characteristics of being infinite,

is not just omniscience, that he has infinite knowledge, knows all things,

not just omnipotence that he has infinite strength and ability,

but also omnipresence, omnipresence.

There is no place where God is not. So what makes hell hell is not that God is in heaven

and so it's good and God is not in hell and so it's bad. No, what makes hell hell is that God is present,

but he is present in his just judgment for sinners eternally. So the ultimate and final consequence of sin is hell,

eternal hell underneath the just wrath of God. That said, that's the ultimate punishment,

the ultimate consequence of sin. All right, hold up. You're not going to want to miss this.
