Did Adolf Hitler Go To Hell?

Adolf Hitler: perhaps the most evil human being to walk this earth in the last century. Certainly, if anyone “deserves” hell it would be him.

So what do you think? Is Adolf Hitler in hell right now?

If you would have asked me this a few years ago I would have quickly said yes. “Of course he is.”

But who am I to answer so certainly the eternal fate of another person?

How big is your grace?

Would you be surprised to arrive at the pearly gates and find Hitler there?

I  would definitely be shocked.

But honestly, I would also praise God for it.

“You let him in?! What a truly wonderful God you are!”

You see, as much as I find it morally suitable to send Hitler to hell, I also can’t escape how amazing grace is. Grace is the astonishing news that no matter what you do, you are still accepted, you are still loved, and you are still forgiven in Christ!

Grace boasts in the cross alone. Jesus paid a high price for the forgiveness of sins. That’s not to be made light of! He died, and in His death He announces unconditional grace for all!

If our definition of grace has any limitations, it is not grace. Grace is either free, and unconditional or it is not grace at all.

Any form of grace that excludes the possibility that anyone can find themselves freely accepted and forgiven, even Hitler, is not grace at all. That’s conditional acceptance. That’s law. That’s not grace!

If your understanding of grace is not big enough to reach even the most evil person in the world, then your grace is not big enough. If grace isn’t for sinners, then who is it for?

If grace isn’t big enough to get Hitler home to the heavenly country- no if, and’s, or but’s about it- then grace is not enough, period.

Grace is either unconditional, or it’s a scam. 

Could Hitler be in heaven? Maybe. Maybe, not. It’s not really for me to know. That’s ultimately God’s business.

But the truth remains: absolutely nothing disqualifies you from grace!

 So what do you think? Is there an edge to grace? Is there a condition to grace? Leave me a comment below!
