God’s power is awesome, and his punishment terrible. These words give us a glimpse into the holiness of God. He is sovereign; his power is unlimited; he will do as he promises. This judgment is for those who have rejected God’s mercy. For them, falling into God’s hands will be a dreadful experience. They will have no more excuses. They will discover that they were wrong, but it will be too late. For those who accept Christ’s love and his salvation, however, the coming judgment is not cause for worry. Being saved through his grace, they have nothing to fear (see 1 John 4:18).--- NLT Life Application Study Bible notes
