2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:18 Commuter Bible NT
-
- Christianity
We’re beginning the second half of 2 Thessalonians, and so far Paul has spent a good amount of time talking about God’s judgment and God’s glory, particularly as it relates to the end times. He continues to encourage the church to stand firm in the faith and count their suffering and persecution for the Gospel as evidence that they belong to the Lord. Paul asks the church to pray for him and those that labor with him in the Gospel. He warns them against those people who claim to be the Lord’s servants, but who aren’t willing to labor among them. If anyone acts this way, Paul says that they shouldn’t be treated as an enemy, but they also shouldn’t associate with them.
