S – In view of this, we always pray for you that our God will make you worthy of his calling, and by his power fulfill your every desire to do good and your work produced by faith,
2 Thessalonians 1:11 CSB
O – Commentary:
Paul consistently made what God has done for believers the basis of his appeals for them to lead lives in keeping with their destiny. Christians do not live worthily in order to obtain salvation but because they have been granted salvation
Thomas L. Constable, “2 Thessalonians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 716.
A – Love the commentary – we do not live a life for Christ to “obtain” but in response to a love that is amazing. He is worthy of our lives and love aligning with his will and purpose.
R – Heavenly Father, we love you for who you are. Not just for what you can do for us or the benefit of knowing you. Give us strength and a fortitude to live a life that glorifies you alone today.
