Definition: in the Bible, damnation refers to the state of being condemned or judged for sin, leading to eternal separation from God and punishment in hell. It is the ultimate consequence of rejecting God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. The concept of damnation is often associated with divine judgment and the final destiny of the unrighteous.
