1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 Part 2 of 3

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

 

May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy

1 Corinthians 1:8  He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:14-16a  Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24  May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

2 Peter 3:14  So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this (see verse 13), make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.  

 

in the presence of our God and Father 

Philippians 4:20  To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 

when our Lord Jesus comes 

1 Thessalonians 2:19  For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?

1 Peter 1:7  These (trials) have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 

1 John 2:28  And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
