Series Reivew
This is part 2 of a series we called “Walk Worthy”
The idea behind this series is to examine the book of 1 Thessalonian through the lens of Paul’s statement that the believers in Thessalonica “Walk Worthy” of God.
(1Thess 2:12)
NOTE: the term walking refers to behavior
This is another way of saying our behavior should match our belief
The Church
planted by Paul on his second missionary journey
majority of the congregation were working class Gentiles
Chapter 1
Paul stressed the Family relationship the believers had with God by repeatedly using the word phrase “our Father” when referring to God.
Paul reminded the Thessalonians of the example he set for them
Paul reminded the Thessalonians of the exmaple they were to the region surrounding them
Paul stressed their hope in Jesus
His past resurrection
His future return
His present work of delivering them from the wrath to come
Chapter 2
Walking Worthy is not dependent upon favorable conditions
Paul modeled walking worthy of God while experiencing mistreatment
Evidence of walking worthy of God is that believers are faithful to God when suffering mistreatment.
Walking Worthy of God means needing only God’s approval
Although Paul and his team sincerly cared about, and sacrifically invested in the believers of Thessalonica, he and his team sought approval only from God
Walking Worthy of God requires genuine care and commitment to discipleship
Paul was genuine in his love for the believers of Thessalonica
Paul desired not only to instruct them in the gospel, but to invest in his own life in them
Discipling the Thessalonians came at a personal cost to Paul
The end goal of Paul’s effort, investment, & sacrifice was that the believers in Thessalonica walk worthy of God . . .
this is discipleship in action
Walking Worthy means believing and obeying the Word of God
The believers in Thessalonica listened to Paul’s instructions/teaching.
Then they studied the scriptures to confirm in their own hearts and minds the truths God wanted them to obey
The believers are again described as becoming followers of the church of God (which means they made their behavior match their belief)
The believers in Thessalonica followed the faith of the church of God, which led them into a similar fate of the church of God
Walking Worthy requires continued discipleship
Paul desired to see them face to face to personally disciple them
Paul credits Satan with hindering their personal discipleship
Paul disciples them by written communication
Paul calls the believers of Thessalonica to walk worthy by reminding them of who and what they are:
They are his hope, his joy, his crown of rejoicing, glory & joy
Paul also reminds them of coming of Christ
