Hell is a place where God is absent. This is exactly what the people who rejected God all their lives wanted.

Amen, and I would add that it is not a place of eternal punishment, but of basanos, or eternal torment. Christ died for the sins of the world, so there is no more punishment; there is only eternal bliss for those who accept His offer, and eternal torment for those who refuse His offer.

“Christ died for the sins of the world, so there is no more punishment;”

That is only true for those that BELIEVE in Christ.
