God’s promises of protection from the wrath to come are given to His bondservants—the Chosen—to those who are deemed to be “in Christ.” But He will be clearing His threshing floor and, in His wrath, bring about a judgment of the religious masses within His household who do not live by grace through faith and therefore CANNOT bear good fruit which comes only through Jesus as a person clings to Him as a branch clings to the vine.
Those who love their own goodness and hide behind their tall steep walls of “church worthy” deeds will find themselves on the other side of the rapture, deep within the time of the Lord’s Great wrath.
In contrast, those who are now believing are literally saved by His life in theirs, and this is a promise for those who have been reconciled, who have entered into a mutual agreement with Him to no longer function with one another based on law, for it is through the death of the Son that we are reconciled to God. It is a mutual agreement to function based on grace through faith—what He did and what He does. It is always about what He did and what He does.
