THE DAILY SWORD
"And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Thessalonians 1:7-8
We know Jesus Christ is coming back, it's just a matter of time. He will be revealed in His return accompanied by mighty angels to establish His kingdom on earth. Did I read the second part of this Scripture correctly? What kind of a loving God is this? One who comes in "flaming fire," one who will be "taking vengeance." Oh my, does the church know this Jesus? Do we ever hear about this side of Jesus from the pulpit anymore? Who is He going to take vengeance on? Those who do not know God, "THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL." Understand, those who know God, obey God! A claim to know God without corresponding obedience testifes to a false faith, belief in a different Jesus, another gospel. When a person truly comes to Christ, he is born-again, receives a divine nature of which sin is offensive too. When a person truly knows Christ, he will have a heart's desire to obey God. If there is no desire to please God, there has been no transformation.
