@Faith13praise. There are 1900 plus verses in the four Gospels that contain Jesus’ words. Surprisingly, only about 60 of those verses, or just three percent of them, are either directly or indirectly referring to Hell.
On the other hand, there are more than three times as many verses in the Gospels in which Jesus references Heaven, eternal life, or his coming kingdom: 192 verses in all, or almost 10%.
So, the evidence shows that Jesus didn’t speak about Hell more than Heaven. In truth, he talked about Heaven three times more than He did about Hell!
The other 87% of the time, He spoke about life, relationships with God and with people, and how to navigate this life in victory. Jesus wasn’t obsessed with people knowing about Hell. His goal was for them to know His Father. It isn’t the fear of Hell that saves you, it is knowing Jesus that saves you.
His message was about living life in harmony with God, and loving people, which is what Jesus majored on. When he spoke to the people of his time, he never used scare tactics, because there is no fear in perfect love and that's what Jesus is...love personified. It is a devil's lie, that Jesus came to throw people into hell and condemn them. But in the book of John in the Bible, it says that Jesus does not even condemn people. Their SINS do, and that's very important to note. Jesus said, "I did NOT come into this world to CONDEMN the world, BUT TO SAVE IT."
