Prayer for the Church
No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for 1 Thessalonians 3:11.
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 3:9-13
That is how a minister's attitude should be for the people that he pastors. You might also ask the question, who does the pastor work for? Does he work for the Church of the Great God? No, he does not. Who called him? Who is his boss? Jesus Christ. Therefore God's ministers should reflect Jesus Christ. God is love and God serves.
