I tell you the truth. Nothing will disappear from the law until heaven and earth are gone. The law will not lose even the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter until all has happened.
On the last day many people will say to me, ‘You are our Lord! We spoke for you. And for you we forced out demons {\cf2\super [85]} and did many miracles. {\cf2\super [86]} ’
If any town refuses to accept you or refuses to listen to you, then leave that town. Shake their dust off your feet. {\cf2\super [65]} This will be a warning to them.”
There is a judge for the person that refuses to believe in me and does not accept what I say. The message I have taught will judge that person on the last day.
God has decided a day when he will judge all the people in the world. He will be fair. He will use a man (Jesus) to do this. God chose this man long ago. And God has proved this to every person; God proved it by raising that man from death!”
But the work that each person does will be clearly seen, because the Day {\cf2\super [18]} will make it plain. That Day will appear with fire, and the fire will test every man’s work.
We should not quit meeting together. That’s what some people are doing. But we should \{meet together and\} encourage each other. You should do this more and more as you see the Day {\cf2\super [135]} coming.
And God also punished the \{evil\} cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. {\cf2\super [7]} God burned those cities until there was nothing left but ashes. God made those cities be an example to show what will happen to people who are against God.
\{Yes, God did all these things.\} So the Lord \{God\} will always save the people who serve him. He will save them when troubles come. And the Lord will hold evil people and punish them while waiting for the day of judgment.
And that same word \{of God\} is keeping the skies and the earth that we have now. The skies and the earth are being kept to be destroyed by fire. The skies and the earth are kept for the day of judgment and the destruction of all people who are against God.
If God’s love is made perfect in us, then we can be without fear on the day when God judges us. We will be without fear, because in this world we are like him (Christ or God).
