While I’m Waiting (Week 11) 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “The To-Do List… Part Two”
Introduction
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His
possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One Who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9
As we have previously discussed, when Paul closes out his letter to the Thessalonians, he gives
them an extensive “to-do list”. The first section of the list tells us how we are to love and be patient with
one another. The child of God, who has been filled with The Spirit of God, will naturally love. In fact,
when we read the lists of The Spirit’s “fruit” that will be manifested in every believer, love tops the list.
