The primary focus of Paul’s epistles to the Thessalonians, written A.D. 50–51, is Christian living in light of eternity, which results in balance. The “bookends” of 1Th 1:3 and 1Th 5:8 reveal the book’s theme—the well-balanced Christian life. The book also teaches that God’s Word works through faith. Interestingly, this epistle is closely related in content to the Old Testament book of Ruth, which provides a perfect biblical illustration of the practical truths of this book.This conference was recorded in Western PA in October 2007. .

John wrote his first epistle to counter the Gnostics - some of whom denied the Deity or even the humanity of Jesus Christ. He wrote to assure his readers of their eternal security and their joy in fellowship (1Jo 5:13 1Jo 1:3 1Jo 1:4)
