Gehenna: Destination of Wicked

In Matthew 10:28, the Lord warns, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna." This verse presents a stark contrast between temporary, earthly suffering and eternal consequence. It underscores that our ultimate fear should not be directed toward human power, which can only affect our physical existence, but toward God alone. He holds the power over both our physical and spiritual being, determining our eternal destiny. This teaching reveals the profound and serious nature of God's judgment.
