2 Thessalonians 1:5 - The Message

All this trouble is a clear sign that God has decided to make you fit for the kingdom. You’re suffering now, but justice is on the way. When the Master Jesus appears out of heaven in a blaze of fire with his strong angels, he’ll even up the score by settling accounts with those who gave you such a bad time. His coming will be the break we’ve been waiting for. Those who refuse to know God and refuse to obey the Message will pay for what they’ve done. Eternal exile from the presence of the Master and his splendid power is their sentence. But on that very same day when he comes, he will be exalted by his followers and celebrated by all who believe—and all because you believed what we told you.

2 Thessalonians 1:5 - Additional Comments

What a position to be in, to be counted as worthy of the kingdom of God. In reality, nothing we ever do makes us worthy, but when we suffer for Christ, God would only do that if we truly were of Christ, and therefore of His kingdom. The suffering is evidence that we are in Christ, and therefore because of Christ worthy of God's kingdom.
