Broadcasting the Gospel everywhere became
the mission of the Thessalonian Christians
because they believed that Christ was coming
again.

This doctrine produced such motivation as the
world has ever seen. No one should miss the
opportunity of hearing that Jesus is coming
back and that, we should trust Him.

The believers at Thessalonica became
broadcasters of the Word of the Lord.
Being totally confident in the return of
Jesus Christ, they saw themselves as
having a great message.

The result was a mighty program of
evangelism to that, '. . . .in every place
your faith toward God is spread abroad,
so that we need not to speak anything"
1 Thessalonians 1:8.

Those who anticipates Christ's return doesn't
want to go anywhere, do anything, or commit
to any principle that they will not be proud of
when He comes.

So it is a doctrine of 'purifying hope' "And
every man that hath this hope purifieth him-
self even as he is pure" 1 John 3:3

The Rapture will not only deliver a gener-
ation of living Christians who are caught
up to be with Him.

It also upholds the reason for which every
Christian has lived a godly life in all of the
church age.

His return will be a testimony to this and
all previous generations that the life that
was committed to Christ was not that of
a fool. The wisdom of loyalty will be
settled forever when Jesus comes again!

Those in the church at Thessalonica became
followers of Christ. For them the deep mystery
of life was no problem.

They believed He would come again and every
step they took to pursue His perfect will would
soon be valid.
