1 Thess 1:10

1:10 from heaven. See 4:16; 2 Thess. 1:7; cf. Acts 1:11; Phil. 3:20.

Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. Jesus’ death turned away God’s wrath long ago, but the full import of this saving work will not be displayed until Judgment Day. Then, through Christ’s intervention, believers will be spared the condemnation and punishment their sins would otherwise deserve.
