Correct.

   For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, ⁷and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, ⁸dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 (NAS)

How severe is this punishment?

The punishment is described in verse 9 as:

"...the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power." 2 Thessalonians 1:9 (NAS)

What would you think of a person who says, "Jesus is my Lord," but is not willing to obey what Jesus asks the person to do?  Knowing what the Bible says, would you want to share with your family, friends and coworkers...to know God and obey the gospel?

What does it mean to "obey the gospel?"
