And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven, He will come with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, bringing judgement on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. – 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8(NLT)
ON REJECTING THE GOOD NEWS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who think that they know it all
They are proud and they’ll have a great fall
God gave us his Son so we can have eternal life
If you reject the Good News, you will eventually die.
The Lord provides rest to those who suffer for him
He promises them endless life and a piece of heaven
Jesus will come back to judge those who reject the gospel
They’ll forfeit God’s inheritance if they choose to follow evil.

John 1:14-15 tells us about the Good News. After John the Baptist was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where he preached God’s Good News. He announced that the promise of God has come at last. He says that God’s kingdom is near and that all must repent of their sins and believe the Good News. Those who will refuse to obey the message will be judged and lose their inheritance in God’s kingdom. It was Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that will be our ticket to receive God’s inheritance.
