Prayer for the Church
No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for 1 Thessalonians 3:12.
I Thessalonians 3:11-13
Did you see that last phrase added to holiness? It shows that the God who inspired Paul to write this does not expect us to reach this point until the time of Christ’s return, “so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.”
It is a process. It is a stage of growth. That is what we are in now, and that is where the focus of attention, especially at this time, needs to be.
I Thessalonians 3:12-13
Blameless. The goal of Paul's prayer for the Thessalonians and all Christians is that Jesus Christ would grant us the spiritual strength to be blameless in holiness before God the Father at Jesus Christ's return. And then jumping to chapter 5 of I Thessalonians, verse 23, the strength is rooted in love for God and for one another.
