رسالۀ اول پولُس رسول به تسالونیکیان

فصل پنجم

آمادگی برای بازگشت مسیح

۱اما ای برادران، لازم نیست که من دربارۀ زمان و تاریخ وقوع این امور چیزی برای شما بنویسم، ۲زیرا شما خوب می دانید که روز خداوند مانند دزدی که در شب می آید، فرا خواهد رسید. ۳در آن هنگام که مردم از صلح و امنیت خود تعریف می کنند، هلاکت ناگهانی مثل درد زایمان به ایشان وارد خواهد شد و به هیچ وجه از آن خلاصی نخواهند یافت. ۴اما ای برادران شما در تاریکی نیستید که آن روز شما را مانند دزد غافلگیر کند، ۵زیرا همۀ شما فرزندان روشنایی و روز هستید. ما به شب و تاریکی تعلق نداریم. ۶پس مانند دیگران در خواب نبوده، بلکه بیدار و هوشیار باشیم. ۷شب است که مردمان خواب آلود می خوابند، و شب است که مستان مست می شوند. ۸اما ما که به روز تعلق داریم باید هوشیار باشیم و ایمان و محبت را مانند زِرِه به سینه ببندیم و امید نجات را مانند کلاهخود بر سر بگذاریم، ۹زیرا خدا ما را برای آن برنگزید که به غضب او گرفتار شویم بلکه ما را برگزید تا به وسیلۀ خداوند ما عیسی مسیح نجات یابیم. ۱۰مسیح برای ما مُرد، تا ما با او زندگی کنیم خواه در زمان آمدنش مُرده باشیم خواه زنده. ۱۱پس همان گونه که اکنون انجام می دهید، یکدیگر را تشویق و تقویت کنید.

آخرین اوامر

۱۲ای برادران، از شما تقاضا دارم برای آنانی که در میان شما زحمت می  کشند و در خداوند، رهبران و مشاوران شما هستند، احترام قایل شوید؛ ۱۳و از آنها به خاطر کاری که می کنند با نهایت محبت و احترام قدردانی نمائید. با یکدیگر در صلح و صفا زیست کنید.

۱۴ای برادران، از شما استدعا می کنم اشخاص تنبل و بیکار را توبیخ کنید، اشخاص ترسو را دلداری دهید، از ضعیفان پشتیبانی کنید و نسبت به همۀ مردم بردبار باشید. ۱۵متوجه باشید که هیچ کس بدی را با بدی تلافی نکند، بلکه هدف شما این باشد که دایماً به یکدیگر و به همۀ مردم نیکی کنید.

۱۶همیشه شادمان باشید ۱۷و پیوسته دعا کنید. ۱۸برای هرچه که پیش می آید، خدا را شکر کنید. زیرا خدا در مسیح عیسی از شما همین انتظار را دارد.

۱۹روح القدس را خاموش نسازید. ۲۰پیشگویی و اعلام کلام را ناچیز نشمارید. ۲۱همه چیز را بیازمایید و آنچه را که نیکوست برای خود نگهدارید. ۲۲از هر نوع بدی دوری کنید.

۲۳خدایی که سرچشمۀ سلامتی است، شما را کاملاً پاک گرداند و عطا فرماید که روح و جان و بدن شما سالم بماند تا در وقت آمدن خداوند ما عیسی مسیح، از هر نوع عیب و نقصی به دور باشید. ۲۴او که شما را به سوی خود دعوت کرده است قابل اعتماد است و این کار را می کند.

خاتمه

۲۵ای برادران، برای ما دعا کنید. ۲۶همۀ برادران را با بوسۀ مقدسانه سلام گوئید. ۲۷شما را به نام خداوند وظیفه می دهیم که این رساله را برای تمام برادران بخوانید.

۲۸فیض خداوند ما عیسی مسیح با شما باد.

The Secret of Happiness Is Forgiveness

The Secret of Happiness Is Forgiveness (Youth)
How beautifully they have said that: "Happiness is in forgiveness, not in revenge." Forgiveness is a very important and effective factor in our feeling of happiness. Many of us do not realise what we lose by not forgiving and what we gain by forgiving others. If we do not forgive others, life will be difficult for us. Forgiveness gives meaning to our human lives and makes us feel satisfied with life. When we refuse to forgive others, it is actually us We are suffering.

My Identity in Jesus Christ - I Am a New Creation

My Identity in Jesus Christ - I Am a New Creation (With You)
A person who believes in Christ becomes a new creation, and is no longer a captive of or a slave to Satan. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away and now everything is fresh! All this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. In other words, God in Christ reconciles the world to Himself and does not hold people accountable for their sins.

What Is the Meaning of Jesus' Name?

What Is the Meaning of Jesus' Name? (With You)
Jesus is the only one in the world who can save people. A sinful man needs a saviour, not a religion. Not only is the human body healed from physical illness through the name of Jesus, but more importantly, souls are also saved from spiritual illness (that is, sin) through the name of Jesus. Some ask: Why do Christians preach so much? Why don't they let other people follow their own religion? The reason is that faith in Jesus Christ leads to the salvation and life. Therefore, followers of Jesus Christ have a mission to convey this important news to the world.

What to Start the New Year With!

What to Start the New Year With! (Peace and Joy in Christ)
It is good in the new year instead of complaining about the past life; be thankful No one should do evil to anyone for evil. Rather, constantly strive for goodness with each other and with all people. What Paul means by these words is that instead of retaliating for the bad deeds of others, he should return evil with good. Instead, it is better to carry each other's burdens in the leading year; Do not burden yourself. Because our life is like the shadow of a tree that passes. Without faith there would be no life. Man can receive eternal life only through faith in Christ.

Peace With the Environment

Peace With the Environment (With You)
Love for our environment, and care for it, is a very important part of life. Proper use of natural resources--especially mines, forests, and animal life--is one of the duties of every human being on earth. Not only should we be thankful for all the things that God has created for our use, but we should also take care of them. We must not senselessly hunt animals and birds.

How Do Followers of Jesus Christ Worship and Pray?

How Do Followers of Jesus Christ Worship and Pray? (With You)
Prayer and worship are all about a relationship between God and the person praying. God is the One who calms the soul. Prayer and intimacy with God give the human soul peace. In the life of a Christian, prayer has a special place. When we pray, our whole soul and spirit are concentrated on God and His Word. We focus on God alone, and on His grace and mercy.

Prayer - Fellowship With God

Prayer - Fellowship With God (With You)
Prayer is talking to God and confiding in Him. When we pray, God is more interested in our hearts than in our words. In prayer, we should bring what we have in our hearts to God, not just repeat the words we have memorized to God or words that we don’t understand. In prayer, God is more interested in establishing a relationship with us than anything else. He wants words that come from the bottom of our hearts, not just special formal words.

My Identity Is in Jesus Christ - I Am a Child of Light (With You)
Walking in the light is the same as believing in the light. Christ is the light. It is not enough to just see the light. We must believe in the light and walk in it. When we see light, we must believe in it. That is, when we see Jesus we must believe in him and follow him. From sunrise to sunset, the sunflower always turns to face the sun. We Christians, like the sunflower, receive our light from Christ.

The second coming of Jesus Christ is the hope of believers that God is in control of all things, and is faithful to the promises and prophecies in His Word. In His first coming, Jesus Christ came to earth as a baby in a manger in Bethlehem, just as prophesied. Jesus fulfilled many of the prophecies of the Messiah during His birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection. However, there are some prophecies regarding the Messiah that Jesus has not yet fulfilled. The second coming of Christ will be the return of Christ to fulfil these remaining prophecies
