The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

1 Thessalonians #2

1 Thessalonians #2

(Rom 6:1-6) God's Grace is greater than all sin; We are dead to sin but alive to God. Believers should walk in newness of life - the resurrection life of Christ. The grandest theme of scripture is the Grace of God. (1Co 15:22) Two spheres of life (Col 1:13). (1Co 12:13) Baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Rom 7:6) Living in the power of the Spirit; not the law. (1Th 1:1-5) Evidence of election - How do we know someone is chosen by God? God chose Christ to die for us; when we choose Christ as our Saviour; we become elect; sacrificial love; courage of hope. (1Th 1:6-8) Evidence of edification. (1Th 1:9-10) Evidence of expectation (Christ is coming soon).

The Thessalonians were persecuted for their faith. Paul's first letter to them provides comfort, reminding them of the details of Christ's return for His Church ("The Blessed Hope") and providing practical spiritual lessons for living.
