He give us a brief definition of hell as 'the place of eternal
conscious punishment for the wicked'. Is
this how you thought of hell before you were a Christian? Did the
thought of hell play any part in your conversion?
2.
He then gives us a brief description of hell on pages 17-20. Do you
find it easier or more difficult to think about hell in this way now
than you did 5,10, 25, 40 years ago? Why do you think this is?
3.
Praying for the dead (page 23) is far more widespread, and even
expected, today than it used to be. What would you say to an
unbeliever who asks you to pray for their loved one who has just
died?
4.
"Hell exists for God's glory.....it should not be an
embarrassment to us" (page
24). Do you ever feel embarrassed by hell? Why do you think this is?
What can you do so that you do not feel embarrassed?
5. "If we lose hell, we will eventually lose the cross" (page 27). Do you
find his answer to the difficulty, 'is hell disproportionately
severe' helpful?
6.
One of the purposes of the Bible's teaching on hell is as a warning.
How can we make the warning creditable so that people will take it
seriously.
