1 and 2 Thessalonians - John Robertson - Bog

1 and 2 Thessalonians are two epistles addressed to a group of Christians that faced many of the same anxieties and issues that God's people do today. The Apostle Paul spends a considerable amount of space in these two epistles teaching and easing the minds of these new converts in the faith. They had anxiety regarding the second coming of Jesus. The Thessalonians Christians were also being bombarded with worldliness, the threat of persecution, false doctrines, and skeptics that did all within their power to cause the world to view the Bible as nothing more than a fairy tale. Paul's care and concern for fellow brothers in Christ comes out in these two letters. He reminds the Thessalonian Christians of the original doctrine that they had learned so that they may be victorious over all things that stand between them and Christ. These two epistles are very valuable today because they help us with our anxieties, modern day issues, and we learn how to establish Bible authority for all that we do.
