Paul's Closing Doxology

As Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians comes to a conclusion, he offers up a doxology of praise and thanks to God for the work He has done in the Thessalonians church. Specifically, Paul praises God for His work of sanctifying and protecting the Thessalonian brethren. Within this doxology Paul praises God as "the God of peace" and for the demonstration of His divine faithfulness.
