Send us Fan Mail2 Thessalonians, Chapter 3Study notes (2004)2 Thessalonians Chapter 3:14Class instruction:Choose a verse that you want nothing to do with from chapter 3.2Th 3:14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame. ObservationInterpretationApplicationDoes not obey our instruction in this letter2 Thessalonians tells us the order of events. It tells us not to listen to anyone else who is trying to mix up or confuse the order of these events.There are many people who are merely trying to cause a schism in the body of Christ. They will inevitably bring up endless alternative views that those presented in this chapter. Take special note of that personTo take special note is to mark it down. Remember who they are.We are to notice who the specific people are who trouble the sheep by teaching another doctrine other than that which is taught in this chapter.Other doctrines are not good because they don’t offer us hope and we are not able to encourage each other with these words.God explicitly tells us that we are spared from the wrath to come.We can expect salvation and not wrath.We expect this because what Christ did on the cross not because of ourselves.Do not associate with himDon’t hang around such a person. Don’t eat with such a person. Don’t fellowship with such a person.Our association indicates our approval of the false doctrine taught by such people.God deems this serious enough that He doesn’t even want us to associate.So that he will be put to shame.When other Christians refuse to associate with them, they are put to shame because their doctrinal error is exposed.This is a very difficult verse to accept; however, must heed God’s instruction.We must disassociate from anyone who teaches a doctrine other than that which is made clear in this chapter.We are delivered from Wrath. God picks us up and moves us from the place of wrath to the place of salvation by His actions.He does the heavy lifting.We must never forget.I find this verse very difficult to perform because I don’t want to judge others. I don’t want to offend anyone. I much prefer to give people grace.I am convicted by this study and I will seek the Lord by prayer and supplication to help me to heed these words.I realize that I must do all that God commands.I must pray for wisdom and strength and discernment in order to accomplish this by His power, for by myself, I am unable to perform this.Intro to Outbless.com Outbless.com outro encourage others
