You have no right to go to hell

"The gospel does not say, 'There is a Savior, if you wish to be saved'; but, 'Sir, you have no right to go to hell -- you cannot go there without trampling on the Son of God.'" - John Duncan, quoted in Iain H. Murray, Spurgeon v. Hyper-Calvinism, page 97.

Ray Ortlund: Hell was made not for people but for the devil and his angels (Matt 25:41).Jesus died with such all-sufficiency that heaven is open to all who repent and believe.To end up in hell, that foreign land, one must disregard the cross of Jesus, which no one has the right to do.

HT: Christ is deeper still
