1 Thessalonians 5:10

The cross and atonementEternal lifeJesus ChristFellowship and the church

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

9 For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

11 Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

12 But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.
