Review: The true church True conversion True ministers True growth

Outline 1.Encouragement – 1: Education – 2: Exhortation – 3:1-18

Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. - II Thessalonians 1:1-2

Encouragement Salutation God + Christ = Grace & Peace

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; - II Thessalonians 1:3

therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. - II Thessalonians 1:4

Thanksgiving The surest way to grow in joy and Christian love is to invest yourself in the development of another.

This is a plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. - II Thessalonians 1:5

Trials Pagan Society Persecution False Teachers Temptations

Comforts Suffering not in vain God’s help God’s Judgment

Judgment For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, - II Thessalonians 1:6

Judgment and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, - II Thessalonians 1:7

Judgment dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, - II Thessalonians 1:8-9

Judgment when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed — for our testimony to you was believed. - II Thessalonians 1:10

Prayer To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. - II Thessalonians 1:11- 12
