Tag: Comfort

May your hearts be comforted and established in every good work and word. Why did Paull write this second chapter of Second Thessalonians? He gives us the answer in verse 17; “…comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.” Put in my terms, he wants to bring comfort to the hearts of people who have been upset by misunderstanding regarding the second coming of Jesus. That comfort provides the environment for their hearts to be established in every good work and word. The good work refers to how we live out our faith in Jesus, and the good word refers to sound doctrine. Paul wants his disciples to live fully balanced lives with good doctrine and a lifestyle that reflects that doctrine.
