2 Thessalonians 1

Send us a text

The Regular Guys Bible Study podcast begins a new study of 2 Thessalonians, exploring Paul's letter to a church experiencing severe persecution. Ken and Steve discuss how this letter, written just 3-6 months after 1 Thessalonians, offers encouragement to believers suffering for their faith.

• Paul repeatedly mentions "God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" in his greeting
• The Thessalonian church is commended for their faith and love despite persecution
• Their suffering is evidence of God's righteous judgment
• God promises to repay those who persecute believers—but not until Christ returns
• Eternal separation from God awaits those who reject the gospel
• Christians should be motivated to share their faith with non-believers
• Believers glorify Christ in this life while Christ will glorify believers in eternity
