God’s Word At Work | 1 Thessalonians 2: 13–20
Where do you put your ultimate confidence in a world of suffering? As we saw last week, Paul had written about how he declared the gospel with integrity. Paul now gives thanks to God because the Thessalonians had received his preaching not as the word of men—but as the word of God. God’s word had worked powerfully in the lives of believers—in the midst of suffering. So, in our passage, we’ll see that: a) God’s word is at work in believers. b) God’s wrath is upon unbelievers. c) God’s grace brings joy at Jesus’ return.
