I ran across an article by Tim Keller regarding the importance of grasping the reality of hell. Here are two quotes:
"Unless we come to grips with this terrible doctrine, we will never even begin to understand the depths of what Jesus did for us on the cross. His body was being destroyed in the worst possible way, but that was a flea bite compared to what was happening to his soul. When he cried out that his God had forsaken him, he was experiencing hell itself."
"It is only because of the doctrine of judgment and hell that Jesus' proclamation of grace and love are so brilliant and astounding."
