There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. — C. S. Lewis [1]

C. S. Lewis isn’t God, and The Great Divorce is not the Bible, but I think this understanding of hell is compatible with biblical teaching.
