For today’s daily word of God, we are starting the Book of 2 Thessalonians. This book starts off with an encouraging word from the Apostle Paul encouraging the church of Thessalonica to continue to grow in faith and love. This is the lesson for today that I want to share with our readers.
Although we may be going through uncertain times, struggles and many persecution, but I encourage you to stand strong in your faith and trust God. God promises us that He will never leave us nor forsake us and on His Word we can trust and depend.
Continue To Grow In Faith and Love
To the church of those in Thessalonica, who are in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank God for you always. And that’s what we should do, because you give us good reason to be thankful: Your faith is growing more and more. And the love that every one of you has for each other is also growing.
So we tell the other churches of God how proud we are of you. We tell them how you patiently continue to be strong and have faith, even though you are being persecuted and are suffering many troubles.
God’s Righteous Judgment
This is proof that God is right in his judgment. He wants you to be worthy of his kingdom. Your suffering is for that kingdom. God will do what is right. He will punish those who are causing you trouble. And he will bring relief to you who are troubled. He will bring it to you and to us when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven for all to see, together with his powerful angels.
He will come with burning fire to punish those who don’t know God—those who refuse to accept the Good News about our Lord Jesus.
They will be punished with a destruction that never ends. They will not be allowed to be with the Lord but will be kept away from his great power.
This will happen on the day when the Lord Jesus comes to receive honor with his holy people. He will be admired among all who have believed. And this includes you because you believed what we told you.
That is why we always pray for you. We ask our God to help you live the good way he wanted when he chose you. The goodness you have makes you want to do good. And the faith you have makes you work. We pray that with his power God will help you do these things more and more.
Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of you, and you will be honored because of him. This can happen only by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
