2 Thessalonians 1 Summary
from Chew the Bible Hosted by Chew the Bible
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy greet the church in Thessalonica, giving thanks for their growing faith and love. Paul commends them for their perseverance in the face of persecution and suffering, pointing out that their endurance is evidence of God’s righteous judgment—that they will be considered worthy of His kingdom. He assures them that God will repay affliction to those who trouble them and bring relief to the faithful when Jesus returns. At Christ’s coming, He will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, bringing judgment on those who do not know God or obey the gospel, while being glorified among His saints. Paul ends with a prayer asking God to make them worthy of His calling, to fulfill every good work of faith with power, so that the name of Jesus may be glorified in them, and they in Him, according to God’s grace.
