This verse contains great contrasts: the wrath of God and His glorious salvation.
1 Thessalonians was written to new believers and this chapter speaks about the day of the Lord, when all will be raised. Every believer will be brought to be with Christ forever, while the unconverted will face judgement for their sinfulness.
Many will be unprepared for the Lord's return. The ignorant, unrepentant unbeliever is lulled to sleep by the lullabies of this world. The day of the Lord will be sudden, and when it does come, the day of salvation will be over. Nobody will escape.
This verse declares that there is a salvation to be obtained. It is through the death of the Lord Jesus Christ that we can be saved, when He bore the wrath of His Father. We obtain it through faith. Are we ready for the Lord's return?
