Not Appointed To Wrath

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10

“For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”

Meaning, the wrath that should come down on us was poured out on Jesus Christ when He took our place on the cross. Therefore, we (believers) are not ordained for the wrath of the Lamb but for salvation. Whether we live in Christ or have passed in Him, we will all live together again at His return.

The Truth

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36)
