The little book of Jude is seldom read, and rarely preached—much to the loss of the Body of Christ. Whereas today many messages and ministries are trumpets giving an uncertain call (1Co 4:8), this small book is a clear call to believers in Jesus Christ to enter the invisible war raging from the beginning of time. In the age-old campaign of Satan against God, the issue is always truth or deception (Joh 8:44–45). Thus, Jude confronts the deceivers of his time with the timeless truth of the good news of life in Christ, and challenges those who have received this life to “contend earnestly [struggle valiantly] for the faith.”

1 Thessalonians #8

1 Thessalonians #8

Paul is continually thankful for the Thessalonian believers: their faith; love and hope (1Th 1:3); review: the Mileposts of Salvation: God measures lives; not by great achievement; but by great devotion; The three phases of Salvation (1Th 1:9-10); 1Jo 2:15; repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin; once we are saved; our life is to be one of service to others; Gal 5:13; first promise of a Pre-tribulation Rapture (1Th 1:10); believers are delivered from the wrath to come; looking for the blessed hope and return of Jesus Christ (Tit 2:11-13)

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.
