class=\"google-src-text\">The first b<\/span>iblical text that\u00a0came to my mind when I first read the question is:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p>For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,\u00a0and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,\u00a0dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.\u00a0These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,\u00a0when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed\u2013for our testimony to you was believed.\u00a0<span>(II Thessalonians 1:6-10)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>These men will be punished eternally in a flame of fire for having disobeyed the gospel to be saved.<\/span> <span>Then, the text says that another reason for this punishment will be the\u00a0persecution they have unleashed against Christians.<\/span>\u00a0<span>And history has shown that the most terrible persecutions against Christians have been applied by Communists who were atheists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>There are no good atheists<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Just as there are not good enough people to be able to receive eternal life based on personal merit.<\/span> <span>The Bible says:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p><span><span class=\"google-src-text\">For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.<\/span><\/span><span> (Romans 3:23)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>How\u00a0can one be called good if s\/he denies the existence of God and thus tries to spit in the face of\u00a0his Creator?<\/span><span> How\u00a0can one be called good if\u00a0s\/he denies the foundation of all morality \u2013 God?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>There is no partiality<\/span> with God<\/h2>\n<p><span>Those who bear the name of a Christian, but live a\u00a0pagan lifestyle, will receive the same punishment as the atheists and all others who rejected the love of truth:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p>There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,\u00a0but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.\u00a0For there is no partiality with God.\u00a0For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;\u00a0for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.\u00a0<span>(Romans 2:9-13)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span>God does not want death, but our salvation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>In the same chapter of Romans 2\u00a0 is written:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p>But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?\u00a0Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?\u00a0But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,\u00a0who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.\u00a0<span>(Romans 2:3-6)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Instead of being concerned about the punishment that awaits them, it would be better for all people to raise their eyes to see and recognize the\u00a0riches of kindness, tolerance and patience of God that\u00a0urges them to repentance.<\/span>\u00a0Mo<span>reover,\u00a0God gave\u00a0us what was the most\u00a0expensive, so that\u00a0this repentance could be achieved:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p>For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.\u00a0For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.\u00a0He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\u00a0<span>(John 3:16-18)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Do not pass easily over these words.<\/span> <span>Receive\u00a0their truth and come to be saved by faith in Jesus to escape everlasting
