God's Wrath & God's Salvation

 

1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

GOD'S WRATH
(Strong's No. 3709)
 ("settled anger") proceeds from an internal disposition which steadfastly opposes someone or something based on extended personal exposure, i.e. solidifying what the beholder considers wrong (unjust, evil);
not a sudden outburst, but rather (referring to God's) fixed, controlled, passionate feeling against sin . . . a settled indignation



 Wrath of God On The Unbeliever
John 3:36
He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
Eternal Punishment
Matthew 25:45, 46
Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me. And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.'
Shame & Everlasting Contempt
Daniel 12:2
And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Everlasting Fire
Matthew 25:41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
Unquenchable Fire
Matthew 3:12
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Lake of Fire
Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.



GOD'S SALVATION
(Strong's No. 4991) welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety. God's rescue which delivers believers out of destruction and into His safety. 

Eternal Life, Everlasting Life
John 3:14-16
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Christ Died For Our Sins
Hebrews 9:27, 28
Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,  so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him. 
Isaiah 53:5
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. 
I Corinthians 15:3-
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.

Christ Risen From The Dead
1 Corinthians 15:20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Acts 2:24
But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
Acts 26:23
"That the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

Christ Our Resurrection
John 11:25-27
Jesus said unto her, I am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

Christ Our Life, Our Light
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am The Way and The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Colossians 3:4
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
John 1:4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 5:26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. 
John 8:12
Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, "I am The Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have The Light of Life."

As Jesus said to Martha, I say to you, "DO YOU BELIEVE?"
