Genuine questions for Christians [Spirituality & Religion]

Most Christians would claim that god loves us all and wants us to spend an eternity with him in heaven. According to (John14:6) The way to Heaven is only through Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ is Himself the way to Heaven. He does not merely show the way; He is the way. Salvation is only in the person of Jesus Christ.
Now imagine you grow in a country where christianity is not the dominant religion and you’ve never heard of it. You go your entire life living according to your cultures customs and practices. You eventually die and you find yourself going to hell because of you followed the “wrong religion”
Another example, christianity is once again not the dominant religion but you are familiar with some of its teachings but you still follow the dominant religion because of you agree with it’s teachings and the various miracles you witness. You eventually die and go to hell because you followed the “wrong religion”
Hell has been described as a place of eternal damnation and torment. Emphasis on Eternal. Exactly why is eternal torment the appropriate punishment for not believing in the right god?

Those who do not believe in or worship the true God will not be saved, because there is only one true God (cf. 1 Corinthians 8:6). Even the demons believe and tremble before God (cf. James 2:19). In order to be saved on Judgment Day, one must reconcile with God by entering through Christ Jesus (cf. John 10:9). Those who enter through Christ Jesus are the ones who join the Church Of Christ, of which Christ is the head (cf. Colossians 1:18). Therefore, faith alone is not enough for one to be saved (cf. James 2:14, 24). Christ Jesus will not save anyone outside the Church Of Christ, because it would be against the law of God, which requires that sinners pay for their own sins (cf. Deuteronomy 24:16; John 8:24;1 Corinthians 5:13).

However, we should keep in mind that God is fair and merciful (cf. Psalm 86:5). According to Apostle Paul, those who were not reached by the true gospel, such as those who lived and died before the re-emergence of the Church Of Christ, will be judged through the law that is written in their hearts with their consciences bearing witness. They know what is basically right or wrong because of the law that is written in their hearts. God will judge those who are judged by their hearts because He is greater than our hearts and He knows all things (cf. 1 John 3:20).
