1 Thessalonians 5:28

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 1st Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of God has been given to us through the saving work of our Lord Jesus Christ. “You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.” Grace is unmerited by anyone, undeserved in any way, and unearned through works. There is no higher name or greater authority than our Lord Jesus Christ.

When God is glorified, unbelievers may recognize the reality of faith in God's people and acknowledge a Supreme Authority, the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom they are obligated and must trust. He is not dead. His body is not in the grave. He is alive. He has promised to come again, and He is coming soon!

"Father, I give Thee thanks for giving the truth of the coming of the Lord so plainly and understandably in the book of 1st Thessalonians. May this hope purify Thy servant so I will not be ashamed when He comes. The promise the Lord gave just before He died provides a lot of motivation to press forward in the work to which we are called. I praise Thee for this in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
