Righteous Judgement of God

Ironically one of the ways our culture judges Christianity and finds it wanting is the bibles teaching that the who God exists will one day judge us.Increasingly, were told that we shouldnt believe in a God of judgement, and that if Gods people suffer in this world thats evidence that there isnt a good God who judges rightly. 1 Thessalonians 1: 5-10 says the opposite. We might be tempted to reject the very idea of judgement, but in this passage Paul seems to think that understanding Gods righteous judgement just might be one of things Gods uses to comfort you and get you home.
