Can someone still go to hell after Jesus died for their sins?

To some this may be an illogical question, but for others there may be lingering doubts about what will happen to them when they die. I would like to settle the matter once and for all. So, answering the title question, “can someone still go to hell after Jesus died for their sins?” Absolutely not!! Why?

He is not here . He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where He lay” (Matthew 28:5-6). 2.        The ardent disbelief of the Apostles and subsequent radical conversion - The disciples’ willingness to boldly preach the gospel would have never occurred if Jesus had not risen from the dead. It would have been
