THE BOOKS OF 1 & 2 THESSALONIANS were written by the apostle Paul to the church at Thessalonica. It was a young church experiencing great persecution. The Thessalonian Christians needed to mature in their faith and gain correct understanding concerning Christ's second coming. Even today there is much speculation about Christ's return, but no one knows the exact date or time of this event. Thus believers should live moral and holy lives, ever watchful of Christ's coming-not neglecting daily responsibilities but always working and living to please the Lord.
Paul's letters to the Corinthians speak to the concerns of today's headlines. Sexual escapades among church leaders, lawsuits among disgruntled church members, and unethical fiscal practices in Christian institutions seem to parade across our television screens. Instead of being noticeably different from the world, the church has often mirrored its surroundings. What would God say to churches and individuals who have strayed from his truth? He spoke nearly two thousand years ago through Paul to the Christians in decadent Corinth, a city similar to many communities today. Paul wrote letters, now known as 1 & 2 Corinthians, urging believers to focus on Christ, forsake immorality, settle their differences, reject false teachers, and love each other. These personal and powerful epistles, written first to believers in ancient Greece, present truths and principles that apply to our generation as well.
