“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”
—1 John 1:9.

God offers His solution to the sin problem freely to everyone. But the sad fact is, some won’t take the cure. Some insist on clinging to the disease of sin and remain riddled by it. And God will not force people to choose His way of eternal life. Those who reject His solution will finally be consumed by the disease. The real reason for hell is this:

“For I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.”
—Isaiah 65:12.

Cut off from Jesus, the Source of Life, by their own choices, the wicked will discover that the only alternative is eternal death.
