I have a hard time believing that God loves us so much and he knows we will sin in our life time just to send us to Hell?

That is why Jesus came, to save us from having to end up in hell. Yes I believe in it, because the bible teaches about it. People can confess their sin and accept Christ as their savior and not have to face hell.
But so many, will not.

Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
5 For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Note: Grave is translated Sheol, and Sheol is also translated as Hell.
The scriptures make it pretty clear on what happens to people once they die.
If theres other scripture that say burning in fire - well, that term is not taken literally. Gehenna (Hell) is referred to the Lake of Fire because it was used as a dumping place for Jerusalem . People often take it literally when it should be taken symbolically ..

Yes, I believe in a literal Hell. But because God loves us so much He gave us a way to avoid going to Hell. All we have to do in believe in Jesus as our Savior.

No, He knows we will sin, so He gave us His Son, Believe and receive or doubt and go to hell. All He asks is for us to Believe.

I believe in GOD, I believe that Hell does exist. Hell is for bad people, those who reject God and go against God. God is strict in punishment, God is most loving, most caring. God is most patient and does not punish a person immediately, God gives everyone a chance to repent.
AL-WADUD: most loving
AR-RAHMAAN: most compassionate
AS-SABOOR: The Patient, The One who does not quickly punish the sinners.

God is Holy and cannot just ignore sin. God loves us and that's why he went through the effort of sending his son to die for our sins and why in this fallen (and falling faster) world he hasn't just given up and chucked the whole place in the nearest black hole or sun.
