Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like Christ. This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important ways: You'll gain a firm understanding of the book - its historical context, purpose, structure and meaning; You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through; and You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own - so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
2 Thessalonians
In Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, he continues to encourage them to sand firm in the
hope of Christ's return. Here he assures his readers that Christ had not yet returned-despite
rumors that Paul himself had said the opposite. To encourage them, Paul briefly describes the
circumstances that will surround Christ's return, giving them signs to look for when trying to
confirm rumors of the Second Coming.
