Love God Greatly: 1 & 2 ThessaloniansНамуна

Read: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-2

SOAP: 2 Thessalonians 1:2

Paul opens this second epistle to the church at Thessalonica by greeting the believers with God’s grace and peace. God’s grace gives undeserving sinners the opportunity to receive forgiveness, and His peace allows us to rest in His presence even in the midst of a problematic, fallen world. God has poured His grace and peace into Paul, and these treasures overflow from his heart to the church.

Do your words and actions invite others to experience God’s grace and peace? We should not hoard the treasures God has gifted us. This week, ask God to show you what steps you can take to welcome others in to know Him more fully.

Lord, thank You for your grace and peace. Help me to invite others to draw close to You through my welcoming words and actions this week. Amen
