2 Thessalonians 1: Growing Faith
2 Thessalonians 1 opens with the names Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, writing again to the assembly of the Thessalonians. They give thanks because the believers' faith is growing greatly and their love for one another is increasing. The believers are standing firm through persecution. Paul assures them that God is righteous and will give them relief when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his angels. Paul prays that God will count them worthy of their calling and that the name of Jesus will be glorified in them.
