The main theme of the book of 1 Thessalonians is Jesus’ second coming. When he returns, the dead who have believed in Christ will rise and will join the living to meet the Lord in the air . Unbelievers will experience God’s wrath, while believers will inherit salvation. In preparation for that great day, Christians are called to be holy and blameless. God, who is faithful, will produce in them the holiness he requires. In today’s top ten list we explore ten related themes from the book.
