Love God Greatly: 1 & 2 ThessaloniansSample

Read: 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8

SOAP: 2 Thessalonians 2:7

Paul explains that right now God is restraining the work of the enemy, but after the return of Christ and removal of the church, the “lawless one” will be unrestrained and fully revealed for a season. Thankfully, this season of rebellion will be temporary, and Christ will return again to destroy the anti-Christ once and for all. Our Savior will bring the foe to nothing simply with the breath of His mouth. 

You can live at peace today because God is totally in control. The enemy is a defeated foe, and Jesus will return to wipe him out soon. Wickedness is on a short leash, but God’s Word is not bound. Let’s pray for God’s Word to reach the hearts of our loved ones this week so that they will turn to Jesus for forgiveness of sins. 

Lord God, You are all powerful and good. Thank You for Your saving grace. May Your Word come alive in my heart this week and in the lives of my loved ones. Amen
