About God's Word for Today: 1 and 2 Thessalonians. God gave Paul a vision. In it, a man from Macedonia pleaded with Paul saying, ""Come over to Macedonia and help us"" (Acts 16:9). Following the Lord's call, Paul and his entourage eventually reached Thessalonica. In his two letters addressed to the Thessalonian Christians, Paul expresses his deep care as a founding pastor concerned about his fledgling congregation.
In addition to Christian persecution, the Lord's second coming, the Antichrist, and Christian discipline, readers will learn about
- the power of the Word of God
- the importance of living a God-pleasing life
- the reason why we are faithful to the Bible's teachings."
