If a person ends up there, it will be as a consequence to their rejection of the Grace of God.
The damnation of the wicked is not a consequence of God's Character, it's a consequence of their wickedness.

Not sure you are getting what was meant.
His nature and character demands holiness and justice. This was the purpose of Jesus' mission and the Cross, in fact. So, that there is impending judgment, and an assignment for death, is a consequence of God's very nature -- and of course, a consequence of our own rebellion.
