Timothy J. Keller Quote
A common image of hell in the Bible is that of fire.10 Fire disintegrates. Even in this life we can see the kind of soul disintegration that self-centeredness creates. We know how selfishness and self-absorption leads to piercing bitterness, nauseating envy, paralyzing anxiety, paranoid thoughts, and the mental denials and distortions that accompany them. Now ask the question: What if when we die we don’t end, but spiritually our life extends on into eternity? Hell, then, is the trajectory of a soul, living a self-absorbed, self-centered life, going on and on forever.
