How does learning the truth about hell affect you?
Those who teach the idea that God sends ppl to a place of torment promotes a gross misrepresentation of Jehovah God(Jehovah is Gods name as stated in the Bible. see Psalm 83:18 KingJamesVersion) and His qualities.
God is not malicious or vindictive.
He even asks: 'have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?' (Ezekiel 18:23 kjv) if God takes no pleasure in the death me the wicked, how could he for all eternity delight in watching these ones being tormented

Jehovah's preeminent quality is LOVE, God is love. Granted, the Bible does say that God will destroy the wicked(2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) but righteous anger is not his dominant quality. GOD IS LOVE(1 JOHN 4:8) *

Fear of Hell or love for God. Which motivates you?
The teaching that souls suffer in hell torment promotes a morbid fear of God. By contrast, a person who learns the truth about God and comes to love him will develop a healthy fear of him. ''the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it:'' (psalm 111:10, Douay-Rheims Bible)

This fear of God is not abject terror. but awe and profound revererence for the Creator. it engenders in us a healthy fear of displeasing him.
Cultivating love for God and a healthy fear of him (not fear of hell torment) can motivate us to do Gods will in order to enjoy lasting happiness. The psalmist wrote ''Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.''(American Standard Version)
