We are afraid of earthly suffering because of the innate desire in every human heart to avoid eternal suffering. Therefore, earthly suffering can be good when it motivates us to become better.
When Jesus affirmed to His followers that Hell exists, He was not necessarily scaring them into loving God, but trying to help them realize the reason for their existence, that is we belong to God
and we are here on earth to serve Him.
