There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing evil...Romans 2.9

Because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But He will pour out His anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. Romans 2.5-9                                                                    BUT
There will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good- for the Jews first and also for the Gentile, ( those of us that are not Jewish ), for God does not show favoritism. Romans 2. 9-10.
I love the "buts" in the Bible! Over and over again, throughout the scripture, Old Testament and New Testament, there is the word "but", describing how God has so much kindness towards us that He continues to rescue all His children IF they allow Him to. He will not force His loving kindness and mercy on an individual but He will gently nudge. The choice is ours. But , do know that you choose life or death, God or Satan to live for. We choose the god or THE GOD to live for.
