This comes from verse 16. The word “obeyed” comes from a word that means “heard,” or “hearkened.” God has the right to expect people who hear the gospel to hearken to it! Hearing—honest, fair hearing—should lead to obedience (Acts 6:7). When it does not, punishment will follow (2 Thessalonians 1:8). In the Bible, people who truly “heard” and “believed” also obeyed. Let us not disappoint Him (v. 21).
