2 Thessalonians 1

In this chapter, Paul speaks of the second coming of Jesus. Verses 8 and 9 are very profound, (8) “He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus”. (9) “They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power”. Make no mistake, this day will come! When it does, no amount of kindness, good deeds, simply believing in Heaven, or “points” will save you. As it says in verse 8 if you don’t know God or obey the gospel of Jesus, you will be punished and shut out from God. Woe to those who do not heed the warning and repent. Don’t count on living your life the way you want to then repenting at the end. Not everyone is guaranteed time on their deathbed. If you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your savior and started obeying His gospel, then do it now! If you have but have “backslid”, then get right with God now! He wants to be with you and be in every part of your life. Let Him in and let Him bless you. He loves you enough to die for you to keep you from everlasting punishment and give you everlasting life. Don’t delay, He wants to hear from you now.
