Turn, Serve and Wait (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10)

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

⁹ The believers themselves report the kind of welcome you gave us. They tell about how you turned away from statues of gods to serve the living and true God. ¹⁰ They tell about how you are waiting for his Son to come from heaven.

God raised him from the dead. He is Jesus. He saves us from God’s anger, and his anger is sure to come.

 

 

All of us should respond to the Good News as the Thessalonians did: turn to God, serve God, and wait for His Son, Christ to return from heaven. We should turn from sin to God because Christ is coming to judge the earth. We should be fervent in our service because we have little time before Christ returns. We should be prepared for Christ to return because we don't know when He will come.
