Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible study.
We want you to know that we here are praying for you who hear the Unchanging Word. We thank God for you and His work in your lives in these days.
Well, Dr. Mitchell, in this lesson looks into the book of 1Thessalonians.verses 1 - 4 where Paul writes of his constant prayer for them, as he remembers their work of faith, labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul was sure of their election by how the gospel came to them in power and in the Holy Spirit and will full conviction so that their lives were changed.
So, Dr. Mitchell will point out in verse 9 and 10 that they turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for His Son from heaven, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Here is Dr. Mitchell, 1Thess. 1:1.

The Unchanging Word continues in the study of 2nd Thessalonians.
Welcome to this study in the book of 2nd Thessalonians which speaks of the Day of the Lord.
In our verses today, Paul writes by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit concerning the Lord Jesus who will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels to inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not believe the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr. Mitchell speaks of the purpose of the Day of the Lord in these verses. How much easier to speak of the love and grace of God, but he says, there is another side to the righteousness of God. So Dr.Mitchell confronts the attitude of those who suppose they are able to stand in God's presence on the basis of their own merits.
Here is Dr. Mitchell, 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 verses 7 and 8.

Thank you for being here with us on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast. We are studying 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7.
Dr. Mitchell begins by discussing the recompense of God written in these verses. He states that God is going to reward His people and He is going to bring affliction and judgment on those who do not trust in Him through the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son. God is righteous.
Now notice the contrast in verses 6 and 7. God will afflict those who afflict the believer and will also grant relief to us who are afflicted. He will do this on the day when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven.
Now the question is asked, on which side of God's righteousness are you? On which side of the cross are you? Are you on the resurrection side of the Lord Jesus Christ? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!
Here is Dr. Mitchell with our study, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7.

The Unchanging Word Bible broadcast resumes in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 verses 3-5.
Our teacher, Dr. John G. Mitchell speaks the three grounds for rejoicing observed in verses 3-5.
One is the importance and necessity of staying in the Word of God so that our faith may continue to grow. The other is that our love for one another may also increase and abound in reality.
This was the more evident in the church of the Thessalonians who were undergoing some severe persecutions and afflictions. So much so, the Apostle Paul was boasting of these young Christians to other churches about their patience in their tribulations.
These tribulations were evidence of their being counted worthy of the kingdom of God.
Should we not consider our afflictions to be such before God?
Turn in your Bible with Dr. Mitchell, to 2nd Thess.1:3-5.

Our Bible study broadcast continues in 2nd Thessalonians beginning at verse 3 as Dr. Mitchell brings us an exposition of these verses.
The Apostle Paul writes of giving thanks for these believers because their faith had increased exceedingly.
Dr. Mitchell brings out the fact that faith grows by hearing the Word of God, Rom.10:17, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ."
This was Dr. Mitchell's desire, that one's faith in Christ would grow more and more as we spend time in the Word of God, reading and rereading it to see our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ and the purposes of God for us who know Him.
It is encouraging to remember that the Lord Jesus prays for the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, that his faith may not fail. Luke 22:31-32, Heb.7:25
What grace is this?
Here is Dr. Mitchell, 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1 verses 1-3.
