2 Thessalonians 2 · Grade 4

Chosen for Salvation

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul writes about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some believers had been upset by a false message, maybe even a letter that seemed to be from Paul. It said the day of the Lord had already come. Paul says, Let no one deceive you in any way.

Paul explains that certain things must happen first. There will be a rebellion, and a man of sin will be revealed who sets himself against God. Paul had told them this before. But the Lord Jesus will destroy this lawless one at His coming. Those who refuse to love the truth will be deceived, but God's people hold to the truth.

Paul thanks God for them, brothers loved by the Lord. God chose them to be saved. The Spirit made them holy, and they believed the truth. He called them through the Good News to share Christ's glory. So Paul says: stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us. He prays that God, who gives comfort that lasts forever and good hope, would encourage and strengthen them.
