1 Thessalonians 1
|
|
| 1:1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians
which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you,
and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
| 1:2
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our
prayers; |
|
| 1:3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and
patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our
Father; |
|
| 1:4
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of
God. |
"Knowing ... your election of God"
The elect and the damned are predestined by God.
|
| 1:5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in
the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were
among you for your sake. |
|
| 1:6
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word
in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. |
|
| 1:7
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. |
|
| 1:8
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and
Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so
that we need not to speak any thing. |
|
| 1:9
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; |
|
| 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from
the dead, even
Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. |
"His Son ... whom he raised from the dead"
Who raised Jesus from the dead?
"The wrath to come"
God is planning a messy, mass murder in "the wrath to come" and only Jesus can save you from it.
