II Thessalonians 2:13-2:17

Stand Your Ground

In this section of Scripture, Paul writes about what is known as The Great Apostasy, a day in which there will be a massive falling away from the faith. He exhorts us to stand fast in the faith because there will be many false teachers paving the way for the emergence of the Antichrist into the world. What can we do to ensure we don?t get caught up in the deception?

  1. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
  2. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  3. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
  4. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
  5. Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
