We Will Be With the Lord

Name Date

Read the Story

Paul asked the believers to please God more and more. He said God's will is for them to be holy and pure. God had taught them to love one another. Paul told them to keep loving more and more.

Paul also said to live quietly, do their own work, and work with their own hands. Then people who are not believers would respect them.

Some believers had died. Paul did not want the church to be sad like people with no hope. Jesus died and rose again. The Lord will come from heaven with a shout and a trumpet. Believers who died will rise. All God's people will be with the Lord forever. So, Paul said, comfort one another.

1 Thessalonians 4 · Grade 4

Hope for Believers

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul urges the believers to keep living in a way that pleases God, more and more. He reminds them, For this is the will of God: your sanctification. That means God wants His people to be holy and to live pure lives. The Holy Spirit is God's gift to them.

Paul says they do not need anyone to write to them about loving each other, for they are taught by God to love one another. Still, he urges them to love more and more. They should aim to lead a quiet life, mind their own business, and work with their own hands.

Paul does not want them to grieve like those who have no hope about believers who have died. He writes: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. Jesus will come back from heaven with a shout and God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first. Then all believers will be with the Lord forever. Paul ends: Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4 · Grade 5

Caught Up to Meet the Lord

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul opens with an appeal: as they have learned how to walk and to please God, they should do so more and more. He states plainly, For this is the will of God: your sanctification. God wants believers to be holy and pure in body and life, for God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. Anyone who rejects this rejects God, who gave them the Holy Spirit.

About brotherly love, Paul says they are taught by God to love one another, and they already love all the believers in Macedonia. He urges them to abound more and more. They should make it their goal to lead a quiet life, take care of their own work, and work with their own hands. This will earn the respect of outsiders and keep them from needing help.

Then Paul gives comfort about believers who have died. He does not want them to grieve like the rest, who have no hope. He writes: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first. Then believers who are alive will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord. So we will be with the Lord forever. Paul concludes: Therefore comfort one another with these words.
