Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up.”  
1 Thessalonians 5:11

• When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you obtain what?
• Through whom did you obtain your salvation?
• Because Christ died for you…what is your ultimate destiny?
• Define the word therefore…
• This passages tells us….that because God has saved us from wrath & given us salvation through Christ so that we might live with Christ forever we should___________.
• Based on this passage where should our source of encouragement come from?
• When you encourage others, does it ever occur to you to encourage them by reminding them of their eternal destiny? Is there really any better encouragement?
• So often we get caught up in our worldly circumstances. We give encouragement based on what people have or have done. But, here God tells us to encourage one another based on what Christ did for us! A reminder of our ETERNAL destiny.
• Who can you encourage today?!

Encourage one another. Build up the Body of Christ!  I will be praying for you!
