"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
This verse serves as a reminder to us all that we should encourage one another to be steadfast in our spirituality each day. Just as God’s Thessalonian followers were doing, we must look after one another as we prepare for the return of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The day will come when all believers in Christ, dead and alive, will be with Him. If we truly live righteously, seeking to serve Him and live our lives for Him, we will be able to spend our eternity in His presence.
We cannot let ourselves become downtrodden due to the events of the world. We cannot let our fellow believers fall from the path. Better times are ahead for all of us, as long as we continue to serve the Lord and to follow the teachings of Christ. We must all let this promise of a future with Christ push us through the hard times and encourage us to become more Christlike.
