2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5
From the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.
He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you.
Pray for Paul' team that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, and pray that they may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith, but the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
May the Lord direct your heart into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
Paul turns, with tremendous contrast, to the Thessalonians. They were chosen and called by God - and they responded gladly to the truth. They will share in the glory of Jesus himself.
Why?
Is the Lord chose us to be saved, the factors are 1)sanctifying work of Holy spirit and 2)our belief in the truth- our choice, but it also has the work of Holy Spirit.
Preaching gospel so that people might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, not everyone has faith to believe Him.
Paul's prayer is asked them pray for them to spread gospel rapidly and deliver them from wicked and evil men. Paul pray for brothers stand firm and hold on to the teaching they passed on to them.
It need the heart with God's love and Christ's perseverance, for it is against our flesh intend.
How?
Pray for the work and plan of the Lord, let us share the glory of the Jesus Christ in my life.
