Those who are His He will raise from the grave and the living who belong to Christ will meet them with the LORD in the air and we will all go to heaven. Comfort each other with these words.

1-11_You know very well that the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night. It will be a surprise and will come in times of difficulties. Do not sleep and be unaware of the times. We are to have faith, love, and hope through Christ Who died for us. Whether we die or remain until He comes, we will live with Him.

__12-15_I ask you to have love and respect for those in charge of instructing you. Admonish the unruly, encourage the faint hearted, help the weak and be patient with everyone. Do not repay evil with evil. Rather, seek what is good for everyone.

__16-28_Pray all the time giving thanks with rejoicing. Do not quench the Spirit by ignoring His messages He has given through His prophets. Hold fast to what is good and abstain from every form of evil. May the God of peace sanctify you entirely so that you are preserved without blame at the LORD's coming. He is faithful and will bring it to pass.
