Jesus clearly taught that there is a Hell and even gave a description of what it is like.

But he also made a way for us to avoid having to go there. By his death and resurrection he made a way for our sins to be forgiven so that when we die we will go to be with him rather than being condemned to Hell.
Fear can be a good thing if the thing you fear presents a real danger and your fear leads you to take steps to avoid this danger. There was a time when I was afraid I would go to Hell and if I had died during this time that is exactly where I would have ended up. But this fear provided the motivation I needed to study the Bible and learn what Jesus had done for me and I finally put my faith in him and was forgiven so that Hell is no longer something I need to worry about.
