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.
