1 Thessalonians 1 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

Paul says Christ Jesus will have saved us from “the coming wrath.” We read about the end in other passages in God’s Word, but we know that the fate and doom of those who reject Christ will not be pretty.

Hence, we don’t live in fear but in hope. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord (we know the terror of what’s coming) , we persuade men. [2 Cor. 5:11]
