Second Thessalonians
This
second letter was written a few months after the first to encourage the church
to be steadfast in the midst of persecution.
Both
letters emphasize the coming of Christ and the practical effect it should have
on our lives.
There
was an increase in persecution of believers. Paul wrote to provide comfort and
clarity in a disturbing time. He urged them to avoid fanatical and anxious
speculation about the events related to Christ’s return. For the unbeliever, the
future holds terrible judgment. But Christians do not have to fear because God
has all things under control.
The
scriptures urge us to be about our Master’s business until He returns. The key
to a successful Christian life and a healthy soul is to do what we have been
called to do and leave our future in the hands of our Father in heaven.
It
is important for Christians in any age to live with the bigger picture in mind;
until the Lord comes, we are to live wisely, endure suffering, and wait with
hope, since we know that one day God will come to straighten things out.
Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to
its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for
Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary
