Who The Hell Is In Hell
According to the New Testament, if anyone is in Hell they there despite the following graces offered to us all by God.
John 12:32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.”
-If anyone is in Hell, they are there despite the fact that at the cross, Jesus drew them to himself.

Romans 3:23-24 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
_ The message in this passage is that every last one of us is justified. The easiest way to understand what the word justification means is to say that if I am justified God has made it just as if we never sinned. Therefore, if anyone is in hell, they are there despite the reality that God has made it just like they never sinned

Romans 5:6-7 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
-If anyone is in hell they are there despite the fact that Christ died for them straight in the face of their sin.

Romans 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
-Surely, the work as Christ is at least as powerful as the work of the forces of darkness. Therefore, if anyone is in Hell, they are there despite the overflowing grace of God.

Romans 5:18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
-In case we missed it Chapter 3, Paul repeats the same idea in Chapter 5. We have all been justified. Therefore, for the second time, if anyone is in hell they are there despite the fact that God justified them.

Romans 5:21…So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
-The reign of Jesus Christ our Lord is obviously more sweepingly inclusive and powerful than the reign of death.
