2 Thessalonians 3
Inspired thots
Being saved is not the end but the start of a new journey... peace with God and goodwill to man as is the will of God. Christians need to spend their time wisely after salvation; their lives are bare for others to see and draw to Christ. Hence, we should spend our time well in Prayer and Work without being idle.
This is healthy spiritual exercise to keep our faith fit and strong.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

Comfort In The Midst of Chaos
2 Thessalonians 2
Inspired thots
The time for the lawless one is coming where he will cause confusion and chaos but those who are steadfast in the Lord would be comforted and kept safe. They would be prepared for the things to come for they know it is coming; Jesus is coming in His glory and they hope in that.
That is the time to guard self against deception and lawlessness by staying close and true to the Lord. This would help avoid falling into delusions and falsehood that comes upon the world.

The Christian's Way of Life
2 Thessalonians 1
Inspired thots
There IS A Purpose on the Christian on earth; we live for the Lord and the world may not appreciate the good news told. It is set on its own course which is destructive but the Lord Jesus provided a way of escape through the cross. Hence, our lifestyle is not as the world's.
We are made 'worthy' of God's kingdom and His calling to fulfill every work on earth by faith. It is hard to understand the ways of God without a personal relationship with Christ. The Christian's way of life is according to His will which may be difficult for those outside to comprehend fully.

Understanding Brings Preparation
1 Thessalonians 5
Inspired thots
How important to heed God's words for our lives and times so that we would not be caught surprised. Indeed, if we read and understand God's words, we would take the necessary preparations to be ready for whatever comes our way. Like the passage says, we would not be caught unaware.
The crux of the matter is whether we choose to start making the necessary preparations upon receiving God's Word. He reveals and unveils; how do we respond? Think Eternity!

Words of Exhortation Build Up
1 Thessalonians 3 & 4
Inspired thots
It is important to build up one another with words that encourage so that the body of Christ is strong and united against the enemy that is constantly seeking to bring God's people down. God wants to sanctify His people and keep them sanctified for His glory.
God's people are exhorted to Love more and More. There is no end to Love for God is Love. (1 John 4:8) As we live as testimonies to others, we await the Lord's coming for His people. Hence, we shall be properly prepared when we put on Love.

God Pleasers
1 Thessalonians 2
Inspired thots
A life worthy of God is one that strives to please God and not man. God is seeking those who would please Him with their lives and lifestyles.
And that includes evangelism and encouraging the body of Christ to be built up. That would be our reward from God; that we have something to show forth on Judgment Day.

The Nutshell of Christianity
1 Thessalonians 1
Inspired thots
Different people would receive the gospel in different circumstances but the initiation and the final outcome are the same; it is God's compelling love that initiates the gospel to be shared for salvation. And it is God's desire to have His creation return to Him at the end of day.
Some may receive the Word in affliction but that would bring more joy as they now have the hope for the final outcome. This is where they work in faith and love with steadfastness and power on their salvation to prepare themselves for Jesus' return.
So we do not stay idle but we work out our salvation to prove ourselves before God and man remembering that we serve a living and true God who sent His Son to die to redeem man. Hallelujah!
