Yes there is Hell. It is for God to judge who goes to Heaven and Hell and God is patient with all of us and does not want you and me to perish.
God is full of grace and mercy:
Palms 103:
8, The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
Jesus came in this world to save us from Hell. He is the saviour of all mankind. The greatest event in History happened when Jesus appeared on Earth.
God has made it possible for all mankind—every person—to come voluntarily into an intimate relationship with Him. This could not have been possible, in God's great plan, without the birth and subsequent sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He only lived to 30 years old and he died for all our sins. He paid the ultimate price for all of our sins and he knew we are all sinners.
He rose again on the third day. With that he has given us new hope.
There are people that will ask why can't God just forgive our sins so that everyone can go to heaven. In this way, Jesus Christ will not have to take the hassle to come to earth and die for our sins on the cross.
The Lord also has given us a free will to either follow him or not. It is our own personal choice.
Jesus did not only die for our sins, He carried upon Himself the consequences of sin – a sense of alienation from God. As the book of Romans says, this is the love of God, that the
wrath of God on this world did not fall on us, but fell squarely on the Son of God
God’s Love On The Cross
I will end this message with one of my most favourite Bible verses:
John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his own son, so who ever believes in him shall not die but have everlasting life.
That above bible verse did not mention God hated the world or hated us.
