Can somebody explain how this phrase makes sense? If you supposedly go to hell for bad behaviour, how can good intentions lead you there?

Usually it means that people have a good goal in mind, but the way they go about it and the side effects are bad.
An example would be someone in government who suggests that anyone who gives birth needs to prove they have a safe home in which to raise the child. If they can’t prove that, they don’t get to keep their baby.
Depending on how they define a safe home, it’s likely that a lot of poor or disabled people would have their babies forcibly taken from them. If the majority of poor people in the area are the same ethnicity, then the government will end up taking the children of one race and giving them to a different race.
All of a sudden, this government person who wanted to protect children is responsible for a eugenics program. That’s how you get to hell by trying to do something that seems good
