Paul gives us very practical standing orders for Christians as they live out their faith on earth.

After teaching about end-time events, Paul brings us back down to earth and reminds us that we have to live our lives in a way that honors God while we are waiting for Christ's return.

There is a day of judgment coming when God will pour out HIs wrath on all who have rejected Him. The good news is that there's hope for those who are in Christ.

What happens to the believer who dies? What will happen when Jesus returns? Why does this all matter?

The love we find in Christ gives birth to brotherly love between believers. That love should continue to grow as long as we are alive.

One of the earmarks of a genuine surrender to Jesus is a changed life. A saved person lives differently than he or she did in the past. That life is marked by holiness.
