Description
The church in Thessalonica was a study in contrast. They had been a quiet and holy people. But after a while, they had become restless and impatient. They needed direction on how to live.
So Paul wrote the young church two letters. The first commended the believers for their faith and encouraged them to continue living according to the gospel principles he had taught. The second letter was filled with helpful hints that corrected their wrong beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors. Whether we are living a quiet and holy life or one that leaves us restless and impatient, Paul's letters encourage us. They challenge us to remain faithful in a temporary world.
As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- We should live in preparation for Christ's return.
- God wants holy and pure worship.
- The time of Christ's return will be unpredictable.
- How we live our everyday lives, matters.
