The center point of this week’s passage is to establish the truth of the Christian faith based upon the evidence Paul and Luke provided the Thessalonians and the future readers of the book of Acts. The Christian faith is built upon the fulfilled promises and prophecies found in the Old Testament by Jesus and only Jesus. The Savior had to suffer for our sins and rise from the dead. Knowing the evidence will help all of us stand firm in the faith, especially during seasons of suffering, doubting, and temptation.
