With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this 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. (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12)
Paul and those with him pray for the Thessalonian Christians, not that they may accomplish great things, but that God may:
- Make them worthy of God's calling...
- Bring forth fruit from their desire for goodness...
- Bring forth a harvest from their faithful deeds...
- By divine grace glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in them...
- By divine grace glorify the Thessalonians in the Lord Jesus Christ...
These two verses of scripture say a lot!
