The sooner we realize eternity is now the better off we'll be. Those currently spiritually dead will remain in that state forever unless they are born again. Those who have been born again have ALREADY escaped Hell.

Eternity is not now.
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. 1:11 For thus you will be richly supplied with
the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:10
No one is yet in Heaven nor in Hell. If we do the things (in this life) Peter speaks of we will never fall.
