“Paul's Second Letter to the Thessalonians — Grace Unto Grace, Both Then and Now!”

We will close our study in the apostle Paul’s letters to the Thessalonian believers with two studies, this one on the overriding theme of the second letter, and the second on an overview of Paul’s pre-Tribulational, Rapture teaching. In the second letter, the apostle reasserts the graphic and eternal difference between our revealed inheritance and that of the unbeliever.  But the focus is also on how the Lord will BOTH provide those future and eternal blessings and current blessings in this life.  The grace poured out then is pre-figured, as it were, by pouring out blessings in this life, by his grace.  In one expression, “Grace Unto Grace, Both Then and Now”, which is the title of that study.  We should be encouraged to know through this letter that God’s promised mighty working on our behalf in eternity future will always be matched in our lives now by a mighty working of grace even today.  Enjoy!
