Christ rejected and accepted

God commands you to turn from idols to the true God.

Jesus is sovereign over the natural and spiritual realm

Faith leads to speaking.

Phrasing Narrative and Teaching

Christ's Supremacy Described and Grounded

Colossians 1:15-17

Christ's Resurrection and Ours

1 Corinthians 15:20-28

God's Furious Punishment

God will surely set up an indestructible, everlasting kingdom.

Just like Adam's sin led to death for all people, so Jesus' obedience led to life for all people.

To apply this text, think through the Concessive, the Negative, and the Ground (v. 7-9), asking where those things are true of you.

Remember the happiness of the Word-delighting, and the misery of the only other option.

In every difficulty, cry to God, your trustworthy Savior.

Paul describes how men and women should act in church, based on their specific roles.

When Jesus next returns, he will destroy death.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58

At the day of the Lord, believers will be saved and unbelievers will be destroyed.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

Our certain gospel hope of resurrection should encourage us.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

This passage reveals the fact of and the reason behind God's anger.

The kind of faith that saves is a faith that is characterized by works.

Only those who look to Jesus for spiritual wealth, righteousness, and guidance will sit with him on his throne.

Hold tightly to holy living that flows from the gospel.

Revelation 1:1-8

God redeems Naomi - and all Israel - through the son of Boaz and Ruth.

Believers must stand firm in the freedom of being God's children through faith alone in his promise.

Galatians 4:21-31

Boaz generously and sacrificially redeems Elimelech's and Mahlon's family.

Paul's proven trustworthiness and godly motives should have led the Galatians to trust him, not reject him.

Galatians 4:12-20

Boaz acted with generosity again, and Ruth waited for redemption.

In Christ we are God's fully adult sons and heirs.

Galatians 4:1-11

Boaz commits himself to redeem Ruth.

All of God's children enjoy his covenant and promised salvation through faith in Christ.

Galatians 3:15-29

Ruth and Naomi encounter the generosity of Boaz.

Gentiles are declared righteous, become the true Israel, and receive the blessing and the Spirit by faith alone.

God guided Ruth to the field of a man who showed undeserved favor to her.

Justification by faith, not by works, alone glorifies God's grace and accomplishes the purpose of Christ's death.

The biblical gospel is demonstrably given by Jesus.

Reject the perverted gospel and embrace the God-accomplished and God-taught gospel.

It is right for God to show mercy on whomever he desires to show mercy - and we should praise him for this!

God is right to show mercy on whomever he chooses.

God cares about Gentiles.

The Lord saved Jonah because he prayed to him.

Jesus' death and resurrection created Gentile worshippers.

Because God is holding tightly to you, hold tightly to his Word.

2 Thessalonians 1-3

We pray for you to experience God's grace and peace.

2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

You were dead, but God made you alive in Christ; therefore, remember that God has brought you near to him and made you part of his temple.

Ephesians 2:1-10

God is holding tightly to you.

2 Thessalonians 1:3-12

The path to eternal happiness isn't what you think: it requires joyful endurance of trials and humble obedience to God's Word.

Choose the way of life that God delights in, a Christlike life of compassion and purity, for this is the pathway to Heaven.

As for you, brothers, e do not grow weary in doing good.

If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter,

g Do not regard him as an enemy,

concessive

This is a wordplay contrasting the nature of unbelievers and the Lord.

Pray that the Lord's Word would be successful, and that the Lord would protect us.

The Lord is faithful who will strengthen and protect you.

Therefore, we are confident in the Lord about your obedience and we pray that the Lord will move you to love him and endure like him.

You pray for the success and honor of the Lord's word; we are confident you will do this because of the Lord's faithfulness.

You know how to imitate us, because of our example of working hard when we were with you.

We command you to keep away from idle brothers.

We have heard that some of you are idle, and so we command you to keep away from idle brothers because you know you should imitate us and obey our command.

Some of you are walking in idleness, but the rest of you must continue doing good.

If anyone won't obey these words, avoid them.

Kuya, may I suggest, I hope it's okay with you kuya. I think the passage is not 2 Thessalonians 1:1-2, but 2 Thessalonians 3:1-15.

Brent Karding

Yes - you're right. That was a mistake! Thanks.

Brent Karding

By the way, Mildred, I'm so sorry, but I forgot to start the recording during yesterday's Arcing discussion! My plan is to make the video again, going through the arc of the whole book, and have that saved so you and others can watch it.

Mildred Queenie CS

Wow, thank you for the effort kuya. That will be of great help kuya.
