I am so thankful for the mercy and grace of God in Christ Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish that which God has started in us. Praise be to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In contrast to the destruction of the wicked, Christ will be glorified in His saints. Christ will be glorified not only among but also in the saints, for believers reflect His glory. Paul continued to pray that the Thessalonian believers would live in a manner worthy of God, in a way that would glorify Christ.
The penalty for sin is not annihilation, but eternal ruin, eternal separation from the love of Christ. Just as endless life belongs to Christians, endless ruin belongs to those who are opposed to Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
