Love God Greatly: 1 & 2 Thessaloniansনমুনা

Read: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2

SOAP: 2 Thessalonians 2:2

Paul is seeking to comfort the believers in Thessalonica regarding the day when Christ will return to judge the earth. Because the young church was in the midst of severe persecution, some false teachers were saying that this was the “day of the Lord,” but Paul encourages the church to not be misled or shaken by their current circumstances. When Christ returns, He will gather His own and remove His children from the judgment to come. 

No one knows the exact day of Christ’s return, but we should live in anticipation of His imminent return. The coming of Christ should fill us with hope, not horror. We can trust our faithful God will never fail us. 

My King, I look forward to Your glorious return. Help me to remember You are faithful and trust You will never leave me nor forsake me. Amen
