Bible Study teaching from II Thes. 1:11-12 as the source text. See notes below and link to google doc. Google doc link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a1R8sn7bpSuyh9pfHMPvolLJUMxt1kCKsmP7_fqo6iw/edit?usp=sharing
Notes: June 11, 2023 by: Matt Monk-”The World is Redeemed, Don’t We Experience It?”
Source Text: II Thes. 1:11-12 (from the English Standard Version).
11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ
Two Big Ideas:
We live in a redeemed world, but people (us) fail to see/believe it is so.
Christ is in us, giving us the power and authority to take care of #1.
Questions for Application to Consider and to Pray About:
How can I?
-Walk in a manner worthy of my calling and Christ’s calling?
-Better see Christ in me and me in Him?
** “It’s not about what you can do for God, but what God has done for you.”
Big Idea #1: We live in a redeemed world, but people (us) fail to see or believe it is so.
-Genesis 3: What/Who does God curse after the fall?
-II Thes. 1:10:
when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed (ESV)
-According to v. 10, where is Christ and what is His plan to redeem the world?
-Romans 5:12, 18-19:
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
-If Christ dealt with sin once and for all on the cross…why do we still struggle?
**II Thes. 1:11: What gives us the power for good works and faith? What happens if we attempt to redeem things but do it from the wrong source?
Rom. 1:20-21-20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Big Idea #2: Christ is in us, giving us the power and authority to take care of #1.
**II Thes. 1:12, Where/How is Christ glorified?...
John 17:4-5, 21-23:
4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
John 14:20: 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
