Chapters 4:13 – 5:28  Continue to be Hopeful for the Future Reunion

Paul encourages the Thessalonian believers by explaining that they should not be concerned for those who have died before Christ’s return, for upon the command, the dead believers shall rise first, to be united in the clouds with believers still living, who together meet Christ in the air (4:13-18).  They are reminded that unbelievers remain behind to suffer the day of God’s wrath (5:1-10).  They are to encourage others with these words of comfort, living in expectation of that moment (5:11-28).

Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 3:13

“So that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.”
