2 Thessalonians 1:5-10 | Danger!

Hell. What comes to mind when you think about it?

My guess is, your response isn’t just a list of Bible verses or images of fire in some dark and smokey cave. It might also include deep emotions of sadness and even regret as you picture specific people in your mind.

This week the apostle Paul, in an effort to give hope to the persecuted Thessalonian church, promises affliction to those who were afflicting them.

In the process, however, he also promises punishment and eternal destruction to all those who do not know God and who do not obey the Gospel of the Lord Jesus. That’s terribly hard but those are the waters we must navigate and, Lord willing, be crushed by, changed by, and motivated by.
