Robert Murray M'Cheyne emphasizes the reality and seriousness of hell, drawing from biblical references to illustrate its eternal nature and the righteousness of God in punishing sin. He argues that the warnings about hell are rooted in love and truth, as seen in the teachings of David, Paul, John, and Christ, who all spoke of hell's torment. M'Cheyne explains that hell is not annihilation but eternal suffering, and he stresses that God's justice demands punishment for sin due to its infinite nature. He concludes by urging believers to cherish their salvation through Christ, while warning the careless and unrepentant of the suddenness and certainty of hell's judgment.

William MacDonald emphasizes the unwavering righteousness of God, reminding us that despite life's mysteries and injustices, we can trust that the Judge of all the earth will ultimately do what is right. He addresses concerns about the fate of children who die young, the complexities of election and predestination, and the apparent prosperity of the wicked, assuring us that God's decisions are rooted in absolute righteousness. MacDonald encourages believers to maintain faith and patience, as the final outcome will reveal God's perfect justice and wisdom.
