Paul wrote 1 and 2 Thessalonians to encourage persecuted believers. His words are still a powerful reminder for us to live faithfully in a rebellious world. We know Jesus will triumph, but, until then we must “stand firm and hold fast to the teachings … passed on to [us]” (2 Thessalonians 2:15, NIV). Dive into a study of these letters and be emboldened to stand firm in your faith until Christ’s return.
