“to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;”
Romans 2:7-9 KJV
For those living in constant goodness and doing what pleases Him, seeking an unfading glory and honor and imperishable virtue, will experience eternal life. But those governed by selfishness and self-promotion, whose hearts are unresponsive to God’s truth and would rather embrace unrighteousness, will experience the fullness of wrath. Anyone who does evil can expect tribulation and distress—to the Jew first and also to the non-Jew. Doing what pleases God comes from faith. We must first believe in Jesus, the Anointed One, then our life and works will bring honour to Him. All those who reject Jesus Christ and the truth that the wrath of God fell upon Him on the Cross for all our sins, will face the lake of fire forever, Jews and non-Jews alike, because their names were not found in the Book of Life. This will be along with the devil and his cohorts. Amen!
