1 Thessalonians

The church of Thessalonica is growing in faith and love, despite persecution. Some believers are concerned about those who have died and their place in Christ’s return. Paul reassures them that when the Lord comes again, the dead in Christ will rise first, followed by those who are still alive. He encourages the church to live holy lives, remain steadfast in their work, and comfort one another with the hope of Christ’s return. Until that day, continue to love, serve, and remain vigilant.
