Discussion Questions:

1. In what ways have you personally tried to ‘pretty up’ or soften the uncomfortable truths of Scripture, and what would change if you stopped doing that?
2. When you consider the statement ‘the line determines the limit,’ what would you be willing to sacrifice if you truly believed heaven and Hell hung in the balance for someone you love?
3. How does Paul’s description in Romans 3 that ‘there is no one righteous, not even one’ challenge your tendency to compare yourself favorably to others when it comes to deserving salvation?
4. If Jesus spoke more about Hell than anyone else in Scripture, why do you think the modern church has become so hesitant to address this topic directly?
5. What does it reveal about God’s character that He would sacrifice His own Son rather than simply eliminate hell or lower the standard of holiness?
6. How would your daily priorities and conversations change if you truly believed that people you interact with regularly might spend eternity separated from God?
7. In what ways has the ‘love of most grown cold’ manifested in your own spiritual life or in the church community you’re part of?
