Notes

Meditations: I must always give thanks to God for my brothers and sisters because of their faith and love that are increasing. I must,not because i have to,like,i have no choice since i am a christian,(well that is wrong)but because God deserve the glory for upholding and making my brothers and sisters fruitful in the faith. As a believer and a member of a church it must be my joy now to glorify God and that is the right thing to do. I learned here that my brethren is my boasting too. Their life is a testimony for others to hear and be strenghtened. Take aways: 2 Thessalonians 1:3-4 Command: We must always give thanks to God for our brethren. We ought to boast for our brothers. Means; (Implied) Prayer Motivation: Because it is right. v3b Because of their steadfastness,strong faith in the midst of persecution and endurance in the midst of affliction Anchor: Because of their growing faith in the Lord and love for the saints. v3c
