Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians was written to correct misunderstandings about Christ’s return and to encourage believers to remain steadfast in faith despite persecution. He reminded them that God is perfectly just—He will bring relief to those who believe and punishment to those who reject Christ—and that His justice flows from His unchanging, righteous nature. Paul closed by praying that God’s power would continue to mature their faith, transform their desires into goodness, and produce deeds that glorify Jesus Christ.
