We are going to see how important it is that you respond to the truth you are given, and to the love you are shown, by those who watch-over you in the Lord. That includes people like pastors or elders but also a mother or father, brothers or sisters in the Lord, anyone who sows the word into your life.

The Christian is fundamentally a man or woman in whom the Holy Spirit dwells.

The Christian is someone who has received new life through the Spirit, producing a new mind-set on the things of the Spirit (new way of thinking about everything), which empowers a new walk in the Spirit.

The Spirit sets us free from sin and death to fulfill the law which is love.

Paul lays out the marks of authentic ministry - courageous and tender love for one another.

There is no condemnation for the Christian, because in Christ we are free from the law of sin and death.

Paul rejoiced and thanked God for His work in the lives of the Thessalonians, because there were such obvious evidences that they were chosen and loved by God.

The wisdom we gain from considering our own death not only prepares us to die well, but also enables to us to live well.
