Not All Have Faith

“…and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men, for not all have faith.” (2 Thessalonians 3:2)

            Why is there evil in the world?  Why is there suffering?  Why do bad things happen to good people?

            Not all have faith.

That’s the Bible answer.  Sometimes the answers to complicated questions are gloriously simple.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5

Questions to ask:

  1. How is Paul feeling as he writes today’s passage? What is his mood?
  2. What are the central themes in Paul’s preaching and teaching which are being emphasized, or how are the central themes in this epistle being emphasized in today’s reading?
  3. How does our reading show Paul’s people skills, especially how he handles conflict?
  4. What in this passage would change the lives of the believer(s) being addressed? How does it make me a better disciple?
  5. How does this show the “good news” of the gospel? How can I share that with someone else?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
