II Thessalonians 2:13-17
Paul reminds us that we have been greatly loved by God. God chose us before the foundation of the world. In response, we choose to believe the truth of God's word, the truth of the gospel. As we believe, we come to know that we have been obtained for the glory of Jesus.
In light of this, we are to stand fast and hold firm to the word of God. This is key to living the victorious Christian life. Regardless of the circumstances that surround us or the environment we are living in we should be living in the victory of Jesus. How? By knowing God's word and living in obedience to His word regardless of cost or consequence.

Chapter 2
13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
