It is my happiness that I have served Him who never fails to reward His servants to the full extent of His promise. – John Calvin

The widely believed notion “all sin is alike” is not grounded in Scripture. All sin is bad, of course—all sin crucified Jesus. But it’s a myth that all sin is the same to God. 

Happiness in Heaven is based not on ignorance, but on perspective. We will be with Christ, see accurately, and live in a sinless environment. Heavenly happiness cannot be based on a fundamental ignorance of what is happening on Earth or even in Hell.

If we get it wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter what else we get right.

We know from Jesus’ statement to the thief that when one dies they enter the presence of God immediately. Luke 23:42 states, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” This statement also tells us that Jesus went to His Father upon death.  

What do Christians mean when they talk about hell?

Scriptures Relevant to the Doctrines of Death, the Afterlife, Heaven, Hell, Resurrection and Eternal Rewards.

I’m concerned that your treatment of the doctrine of hell is an attempt to choose between grace and truth rather than embracing both.
