The Word of the Most High God declares, John 3:16-18 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

God loves everyone in this world so much, that He sent His only Son He had at the time. God sent Him for the soul purpose of saving everyone on this earth, "whosoever will" He, God, also knew that in order for His Son to save all of man, He would have to die. Jesus also knew full well that if He came to this earth, He would have to suffer many things and then, give His Life, totally surrender His Life over so that man could be saved.
Jesus, in dying, conquered death, hell and the grave. He totally defeated the enemy, which is the devil. Jesus went through all of this so that we would not have to go to hell, but could be with Him throughout all eternity, saving us from the torment of an eternity without Him. Most when talking about hell seem to always make the main focus on the fact that hell is hot, a place where the fire burns forever, a place where one who goes will be tormented by satan and his demons for all eternity.
Whereas these things are most certainly true, the thing that will really make hell, hell, is that the one who is there will NEVER be able to see the Father or Jesus, the One who died so that he they wouldn't have to go, always remembering each and every opportunity they had to receive Jesus as their Lord and personal Saviour.
They will remember each time they were asked to receive Jesus, and remember each time they said no, my friend, that will really be HELL! Knowing that you didn't have to go to such a place, but now you find yourself there. You now find yourself in a place that wasn't even created for man, it is a place that was created for the devil and all the fallen angels that followed after him when he was thrown from Heaven.
Most don't realize, that when they reject Jesus, they automatically receive the enemy, the devil. You can only serve one or the other, there is no in-between. That's one main reason why you wind up in hell if you don't receive Jesus as Lord. You fall into the exact same category as the angels who fell with satan, they were thrown from Heaven, condemned to an existence with out God the Father, condemned to an eternity of torment and burning, but yet, never being consumed. When you line yourself up with the enemy, you get the exact same judgment, eternal torment and eternity without God the Father.
Some people may think that they never have chosen the devil, that they haven't been that bad. The Word of the Most High God says that, "FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" {Romans 3:23} It don't take a 3rd grade education to figure out that "ALL" means "ALL" We are all included in this, there is no escaping this fact and truth the Bible puts forth.
The Word declares that without the shedding of blood, there can be NO remission of sin.
Hebrews 9:16-28
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Jesus freely gave His Life, shedding His Blood to cleans us from all our sin. All of our sin and shame was laid upon Him, He carried it ALL.
Isaiah 53:1-10
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

The Word declares to believe in our hearts and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord then we shall be saved, saved from a eternal damnation, one of torment in hell and a eternity without God the Father.
Damned to spend an eternity in a place that wasn't even created for you, and that place will be TOTAL - - - -
HELL!
Again, please believe in the BLOOD that Jesus shed just for you, and please confess Him as your Lord and Personal Saviour, He is even NOW CALLING, He is even NOW KNOCKING on your hearts door, please let Him in.
Romans 10:8-13
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
