I Thessalonians 4:9-18

I Thessalonians 4:9-18

In this study, we begun by continuing to look at our Christian walk. A solid walk in Christ is critical to our witness for Christ. Nothing is more powerful in our Christian witness then our walk in Christ. 

We looked at the need to increase in our brotherly love for one another. The way we increase in our brotherly love is by aspiring to lead a quiet life, minding our own business and working with our own hands. This is a command that when obeyed will cause our brotherly love to increase more and more. 

From here, we began to look at the doctrine of the rapture. This is a wonderful doctrine that will bring comfort to us. In our next few studies, we will take a deep biblical look at this great doctrine.

Chapter 4
9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
