Here God literally pleads with people to turn back from their self-destructive course of action and be saved. Thus, in a sense, God doesn’t send anybody to hell. His desire is that everyone be saved, and He seeks to draw all persons to Himself. If we make a free and well-informed decision to reject Christ’s sacrifice for our sin, then God has no choice but to give us what we deserve. God will not send us to hell—but we shall send ourselves.
