God created Hell as punishment for Satan and his fallen angels. Satan wanted to be like God. He wanted humans to worship him. He left heaven, taking a few other fallen angels (now called demons) with him on a mission to convince humans to follow him as apposed to God. Doesn’t it make sense that both sides gather their supporters in their respective realms?
The rules you may be referring to may be the10 commandments. Initially God gave us the 10: commandments to ease our way of getting along with each other and make us understand that on our own we can’t win our way to God. They are signposts leading us to God and a better life here on earth if you will. They are both civil and moral ruies. They are in the first testament. They are the rules we couldn’t keep because we had free will. Freedom of choice is paramount to God. We are to willingly commit to Him.
If you believe breaking the rules casts you into hell you’d be sadly mistaken. Throughout the 1rst testament man was known break the covenant with God. Siding with Satan as you would. Instead, as of the second testament we live under grace. God gave up his precious sons life so that we could be saved. Christ’s death demonstrates how much God loves us. He gave this sacrifice because He didn’t want us to be lost to Satan. Because of this sacrificial grace God saves us. The only laws or rules are that you “love God with all your heart, soul and mind and that you love your neighbor as yourself”.
By replacing the law by grace. The only way to God is love.
It’s all very simple yet Satan twists the truth making it hard for a human to find his way to the truth. We instinctively know we can’t follow these rules. Satan wants us to believe we can be our own God. Doing what ever makes us happy. Many Christians try to follow these laws and harshly criticize those that aren’t able to keep these rules, but the truth is we should try to follow the rules to honor God. To show our love for Him. We fail miserably but in the end it is the love of God that saves us from the Hell He created for Satan and his minions.
