Hell

28. Hell

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." - Matthew 25:41

God did not prepare Hell for mankind as it was never God's will that man should sin.  Hell was originally prepared for the devil and his angels.  This reveals to us that man had a free will and a free choice.  Adam and Eve, the progenitors of the human race, chose willfully to disobey God, which they did.  God did not elect them to do that.  It was of their own volition to choose or reject the will of God.  So it is with everyone to choose or reject God's payment for their sin, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Everyone stands responsible for their own decision.
