Charles Peace was a burglar and murderer that lived in England between 1832 and 1879! He was sentenced to death by hanging for killing his neighbor. Just before he was hung, the prison chaplain was reading to him about hell. Here is what Charles Peace said:
Sir, if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!
Do you believe that there is an eternal hell? Why then are we not willing to do whatever it takes to save as many souls as possible from it?
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” Luke 19:10 ESV
We know that Jesus is doing it. All you need to do is join Him and say I am ready to do whatever it takes to save as many as possible!

so simple yes so powerful. Is it possible that the modern day Christian does not quite understand what eternal hell or even hell on earth looks like?
Yes Cynthia you are right. I think we the modern day believers have been unbalanced in our approach to the truths in scriptures.
