نامۀ اول پولُس رسول به تسالونیکیان

فصل پنجم

آماده گی برای بازگشت عیسای مسیح

۱ اما ای برادران و خواهران! دربارۀ وقت و زمان این واقعه ضرور نیست که من چیزی برای شما بنویسم، ۲ زیرا شما خوب می دانید که روز خداوند مانند آمدن دزد در شب می باشد، ۳ هنگامی که مردم فکر می کنند که صلح و امنیت برقرار است، هلاکت ناگهانی مانند درد زایمان به ایشان واقع خواهد شد که از آن نمی توان فرار کرد. ۴ اما ای عزیزان! شما در تاریکی زندگی نمی کنید که آن روز شما را مانند دزد غافلگیر کند، ۵ زیرا همۀ شما فرزندان روشنایی و روز هستید. ما به شب و به تاریکی تعلق نداریم. ۶ پس بیایید که مانند دیگران در خواب نمانیم بلکه بیدار و هوشیار باشیم. ۷ شب است که مردمان خواب آلود می خوابند و در شب است که شراب خوران نشئه می شوند. ۸ لیکن ما که به روز تعلق داریم، بیایید هوشیار باشیم و زِرِۀ ایمان و محبت را به سینه خود ببندیم و امید نجات را مانند کلاه آهنی بر سر بگذاریم. ۹ زیرا خدا ما را نه برای نشان دادن خشم خود بلکه برای کسب نجات به وسیلۀ سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح برگزیده است. ۱۰ عیسای مسیح به خاطر ما جان خود را فدا کرد تا چه زنده یا مُرده باشیم، با او یکجا زندگی کنیم. ۱۱ پس یکدیگر تان را تشویق کنید، همان گونه که اکنون انجام می دهید.

تشویق ایمانداران و سخنان پایانی

۱۲ ای عزیزان! از شما تقاضا داریم تا برای آنهایی که در میان شما زحمت می کشند و در راه خداوند به شما هُشدار می دهند، احترام قائل شوید. ۱۳ آنها را به خاطر خدمتی که می کنند با نهایت محبت قدردانی نمایید و با یکدیگر در صلح و صفا زندگی کنید.

۱۴ ای عزیزان! به شما باز هم گوشزد می کنیم که به تنبلان هُشدار دهید، اشخاص کم جرأت را تشویق کنید، ضعیفان را حمایت نمایید و با همه بردبار باشید. ۱۵ متوجه باشید که هیچ بدی را با بدی جواب ندهید، بلکه کوشش کنید تا به یکدیگر و به همۀ مردم نیکی کنید.

۱۶ همیشه شادمان باشید و ۱۷ پیوسته دعا کنید. ۱۸ در هر حالت، خدا را شکر کنید، زیرا این خواست خدا در زندگی شما با عیسای مسیح است.

۱۹ هیچگاه مانع کار روح مقدس نشوید. ۲۰ سخن پیامبران را بی ارزش ندانید. ۲۱ هر حرفی را که می شنوید آزمایش کنید و هر آنچه را که نیکوست، انجام دهید. ۲۲ از هر گونه بدی دوری کنید.

۲۳ خدایی که سرچشمۀ سلامتی است، شما را پاک گرداند و من برای تان دعا می کنم که خدا تمام روح، جان و بدن شما را سالم نگهدارد تا در وقتی که سَروَر ما عیسای مسیح می آید، در شما هیچ گونه عیب و ملامتی نباشد. ۲۴ او که شما را به سوی خود فرا خوانده است، قابل اعتماد است و این کار را خواهد کرد.

۲۵ ای عزیزان! برای ما هم دعا کنید. ۲۶ همۀ ایمانداران را با بوسۀ مقدسانه سلام گویید. ۲۷ شما را به نام خداوند وظیفه می دهیم که این رساله را برای تمام ایمانداران بخوانید.

۲۸ فیض خداوند ما عیسای مسیح با شما باشد.

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.

The Necessity of Praying and Trusting God in Times of Trouble

The Necessity of Praying and Trusting God in Times of Trouble (Youth)
Prayer should be part of our daily habit. If we ask God anything according to His will, He will hear us and we are confident that He will hear our requests. If he hears our prayers, then he will answer us according to his will. When we pray, we must believe that God hears our prayers. Even if God does not fulfil our request immediately, we can be sure that it will be done in the future.

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? (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

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.
