God’s Word And Daily Prayer For Today

In this chapter we learn that God was using the Apostle to address the issues in the lives of the believers. Believers are charged by God to follow His plan of salvation, and be encouraged to not entangle themselves in the folly of non-believers. God’s controversy with the people is after all He has done the people are adhering to rudiments of the world. Let’s be careful that we don’t self-destruct.

God‘s inspiration for the writing of this excerpt of scripture is to remind us of the extent to which He went to affirm the redemption of, and salvation for, all of humanity. He gave his only begotten son, made in the form of a man, and not an angel. This was His wisdom for us all to know that He is not a respector of persons. Whosever will, let him come.

In this passage of scripture, we should learn that the elders in the church, that is the older men and women in the church, should be certain to teach and more particularly to demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep in mind, the old adage, “ways and actions speak louder than words“. The older Saints should know that it is their responsibility to make sure that the younger Saints understand and know how to demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ, and how we should treat one another, and not walk according to the tradition of men and the wisdom of the world.

Here Paul solemnly charges Timothy to be diligent, though many will not hear nor accept sound doctrine. He enforces the charge by mentioning his martyrdom, soon to come. He asks Timothy to get in a hurry to get to him and be sure to bring his books and his notes and writing materials. He cautions Timothy, and complains of how the brothers he depended on had deserted him; and expresses how even though they abandoned him his faith was not shaken because he was assured of his own preservation to the heavenly kingdom.

During these times as were in the era of the Apostle Paul and his spiritual son Timothy we should give earnest heed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. There were then, as now, some that are teaching from the gospel of Jesus Christ, but they don’t know that they don’t really understand the intended purpose of the gospel, which is depicted by their life styles. When humanity, especially the body of Christ follow the holy scriptures we will survive all adversity and contrariness being taught by many that don’t know and don’t know that they don’t know because they are so enveloped in what think is right that they won’t take the time to be taught what they ought to know.

From this passage of scripture we learn that Paul praised the Thessalonians for their faithfulness and their concern from each other. He also requested their prayers for him as he would against much opposition go on to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He also then as we should today beware of the people we allow into our lives; people that make it obvious that they don’t reverence and acknowledge God. Be mindful of who you allow in your life.

The wisdom from God through the Apostle. All that have received the love of God by baptism of the Holy Ghost should be mindful of what we hear and from whom we hear it when it comes to salvation. Living by the instructions of the gospel of Jesus Christ is encouraged and not to lend an ear to those teaching contrary to the gospel. Satan appears as angels of light to deceive the sanctified spirit filled Saints.

We should learn how we are admonished from experience how to treat others; whether believers or not. Persons that have supervision over others should be very mindful of the wisdom of Jesus Christ; as you would that others do unto you do ye also unto them. When we remain faithful in prayer and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ we please God and his favor will envelope us.

In this we learn from God through Apostle Paul how we should live by the Holy Scriptures; in that we be mindful of our character and how we treat everyone. Demonstrate the love of God our father by loving each other as much as lieth within us. In doing so God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.

All Christians are to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls. The fight we fight is not against man. It is a spiritual war that requires spiritual battle armor, described here in scripture. Notice that the armor covers the front of the body; because sanctified, regenerated believers don’t turn and run in battle. For those that give up and turn back to what brought them out of will have no protection against the wiles and fiery darts of the enemy. This is how the great falling away is taking place.
