There are a plethora of reasons for most people ending up in Hell
I say one of them is.. and maybe this is the "biggest" one or primary one
People do NOT want to make sacrifices. they don't want to give up their sins, for one. Then even when they do or try to, they don't want to make themselves uncomfortable by doing such things as: helping the economically needy as Christ said to do in Mt 25:31. In that same psg He said that if we refuse to help people, or at least "the least of His people" we end up in "eternal punishment" (the JWs will disagree because according to them there is no eternal punishment... so you can believe Jesus or believe the JWs, it's up to you).
People (including yours truly) do not appreciate difficulty. They do difficult regardless, however, when it will do something good for themselves, like for example, they will obey their boss, clean out some grubby storage room or what have you... bc they want to impress the boss. But when it comes to their spare time, they don't want to use it to please THE Boss, don't want to help out at the local soup kitchen or whatever. There are so many other good things besides that that a person could do for the Lord but we dn't always want to do ... much of any of it. We have to force ourselves sometimes and most just shrug and say "Bleh.... I'm going to watch TV"
