       Some try then to say people will come out of Hell—that they will be saved after going there. One by one they will come, turning from their disbelief, or their rebellion, and repent, and thusly enter into eternal peace with God. The problem with that, and a verse that seems impossible to get around, is what Jesus said in Matthew 25. There, starting in verse 45, he says, “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:45, 46, ESV). Notice the word “eternal” before punishment. Paul doesn’t follow that line of thinking, for the next verse confirms it. Notice the contrast: “And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him” (Colossians 1:21, 22, ESV).
