II Thessalonians – Salvation
The Book of II Thessalonians – passages specific to God’s Plan for Man’s – SALVATION
II Thessalonians 1
v.5 – All this is evidence that God’s judgement is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. v.6 – God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you v.7 – and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. v.8 – He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. v.9 – They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power v.10 – on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
II Thessalonians 2
v.9 – The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. v.10 – and in every sort of evil that decieves those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. v.11 – For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie v.12 – and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
v.13 – But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. v.14 – He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. v.15 – So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
