Jesus taught his disciples how to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world by being different from the world around them. Particularly, we are to be different in our purity and different in our actions. The examples he gives of how we are to be different challenge our commitment to him. 

In our final study of our bible study on 2 Thessalonians, Buzzy helps us to understand Paul's teaching to the church regarding the importance of staying focused on working for the kingdom of God and the betterment of society to keep us out of trouble.

Jesus fulfills the Law of God. But, how does he do it? Great question. He does it completely in his life, death, and resurrection. His fulfillment of it enables us to fulfill it as well because he lives in us through faith. Join us as we think through what this means for us. 

If you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. For today is the day of salvation. If you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. For today is the day of salvation. 

Christians are to be salt to the earth and light to the world because God has made us His children through His grace. 

This is a discussion of 1 Thessalonians 5 from our Wednesday Morning Bible Study. May it encourage you. 

Jesus is the founder of our salvation. What does that mean? It means that he is the one who makes the salvation Christians enjoy possible. He pioneered the work of God's grace by conquering death for each of us. Join us as we think about what this means for us.
