Malachi 3:17-18

The LORD Almighty says, ‘These people will belong to me. One day I will come to judge everyone. At that time I will bring together all my own special people. I will not punish them. I will take care of them, like a father takes care of his son who serves him. Because of that, you will see again that I am kind to righteous people, but I punish wicked people. I show the difference between people who serve me faithfully and those who do not.’
