Truth About the Rapture Most Christians Miss (1 Thessalonians 4)

Send us Fan MailWhat if the hardship you’re asking God to remove is something He already told you would come?Most Christians begin a discussion about the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:13, where Paul speaks about believers who have died, the return of Jesus, and the living being caught up to meet the Lord.But here’s what most people miss: Paul does not begin the chapter with a timeline or a chart. Before he talks about being caught up, he spends the first twelve verses teaching believers how to live until Jesus returns.In this episode, David walks through 1 Thessalonians 4 explained in context, showing how Paul connects the hope of Jesus’ return with holiness, brotherly love, quiet living, faithful work, and encouragement for grieving believers.This passage is not given to make Christians escape-minded. It is given to strengthen our hope, remind us that death will not have the final word, and call us to walk in a manner that pleases the Lord.Join the Bible In Order community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support BIO: https://bibleinorder.com/donate Support the show
