We start by looking at one passage that we missed last week on our understanding the Mystery that I missed in my notes. We then tackle a new passage written by Paul to the Thessalonian church. Where he is praying bearing in mind their work of faith, labor of love and steadfastness of hope. We examine these ideas in Christianity as the three graces, sometimes abbreviated to Faith, Hope, and Love.

IF God is at work in your life, you will be happy, you will be triumphant and you will be superior.

Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Further directions from Paul about what the new life in Christ is to look like. Putting off the old ways and putting on the new life. Repentance is a 180 degree turn. We don't do these things to become Christians, we do them because we ARE Christians. A picture of a Gospel-driven repentance in our lives is show by actions. STOP STEALING. DO HONEST WORK. SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED.

In those whom God has called to wifehood and motherhood, He does a special part of HIs sanctifying work through the decades of filling their lives with the service of husband, children, guests, and saints.

The Gospel tells us that all those who believe in Christ are saved. This means we are no longer working to try to gain God's approval, but we already have it through the finished work of Christ. This reality gives us a new paradigm for living our lives.

Sunday School class on the Westminster Larger Catechism Question 20: What was the providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created? Answer: The providence of God toward man in the estate in which he was created, was the placing him in paradise, appointing him to dress it, giving him liberty to eat of the fruit of the earth; putting the creatures under his dominion, and ordaining marriage for his help; affording him communion with himself, instituting the Sabbath; entering into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience, of which the tree of life was a pledge; and forbidding to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon the pain of death.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 " Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 ¶ We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 ¶ And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come."

A Biblical Theology of Rest God is the first one to 'rest' in the Bible (Genesis 2:2–3): ceasing labor o His rest was a refreshment (Exodus 31:17) & delighting in his works (Psalm 104:31) Humans are called to rest o God's work & rest as a pattern for us his creatures (Exodus 20:11) o Physically (Exodus 23:12) o Metaphysically/Emotionally/Mentally (Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 33:12; Psalm 37:7) o Spiritually as a way of remembering release from bondage via appointed times of worship (Deuteronomy 5:15) o Salvifically as salvation is rest (Isaiah 30:15; Matthew 11:28) o Mortally as death is resting with the fathers (Job 3:17) o Ultimately ['eschatologically'] with God (Hebrews 4:3,9–11; Revelation 14:13) Adam was called to work 6 days then rest on the 7th & the command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil had the promise of living with God forever in a state of rest ... Israel kept this pattern of 6 then 1 as a reminder that rest only comes after work ... Jesus came as the Second Adam & True Israelite to accomplish what no human is capable of; therefore, we rest on the 1st day then go out to work for 6 even as we lift up our hearts and anticipate full fruition of rest with God.
