In this episode, Alycia tackles this question: how can a nice atheist and a really evil person both suffer the same punishment in hell? She explains the Biblical view that all people are sinners, that good deeds cannot erase guilt, and that entrance to heaven is not earned but granted through Jesus’ righteousness. She also describes why Christians do good—not to earn heaven, but as a response to being loved by God first.
