Why do people want to go to hell?

Why Do Some People Want To GO To Hell?

The personal internal reasoning will be different and not obvious to Christians or even others that reject GOD, but the underlying reason is that they do not truly understand GOD and hell.

The do not care that GOD loves them and has a plan for their life, they want to live their life as they please. Not that they are evil, some will live good, happy, moral lives; but they reject the life that GOD has for them. Some are ignorant of GOD’s love and desire to give them a better life; they just want to be left alone. Some are evil wicked people who want to take advantage of others for their own gain and pleasure.

What do they all have in common, whether they are atheists or follow some false religion or just think they know best how to live their life and fulfill their desired destiny? It that they actually know there is a GOD but they reject Him for whatever their reason is.

He who believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the only begotten Son of GOD. And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light so that his deeds are not exposed. But he who does the Truth comes to the Light that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in GOD.” “For the wrath of GOD is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and  unrighteousness of men who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of GOD is manifest in them for GOD has shown it to them.”  (John 3:18-21; Romans 1:18-19)

Now it would seem that my statement in the second paragraph contradicts the scripture in John 3:19-20, but they are not contradictory. In the world there are many who reject GOD but live happy moral lives, helping others and serving humanity and what they see as our great needs. While even Christians will look on them as good and decent people with moral motives; before GOD they are lawless. How are they lawless? This has nothing to do with man’s laws; they are lawless because they reject GOD’s Law, the Ten Commandments, maybe not all of them but the important first four. Those who are lawless before GOD are the same as the wicked and evil people. “Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (Matthew 23:28) Also study Exodus 20 & 21:1-9; Deuteronomy 5:1-22; Matthew 7:21-23, 23:1-33; Hebrews 1:8-9; Psalm 45:6-7; Isaiah 61:1-3.

There are even those who call themselves Christian who are lawless. How are they lawless? They serve GOD out of their own desires and motives as they will rather that as He wills. “In this manner pray; ‘Our Father in Heaven, holy is Your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in the earth as it is in Heaven’” Then Jesus said to them (the Jews), “Truthfully I say to you the Son can do nothing of Himself but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does the Son also does in like manner.” “I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear I judge; and My judgment is righteous because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.”  (Matthew 6:9-10; John 5:19, 30) Also study Matthew 6:25-34; 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 8:31-36, 17.

What happens when we are lawless? Professing to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible GOD into an image made like corruptible man – and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore GOD gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of GOD for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen.” (Romans 1:22-25)

Good or bad is not the issue! Doing the will of GOD for our life is! For Christians it is also a matter of GOD’s will over our will. Many will find their works burned up, not because they were evil but because they were not GOD’s will for them. GOD’s gift and call are without repentance (even many non-believers find GOD’s gift and call for their life, but by rejecting Him they still go to hell) but they do not earn rewards or build up treasure in Heaven if they are not GOD’s will and purpose for your life.
