LIVE LIVES WORTHY OF GOD / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:12

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

LIVE LIVES WORTHY OF GOD / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:12

We are to live in such a way that we bring positive attention and honor to God. We must always examine ourselves to make sure that our lives are worthy of being identified with Christ, representing His character and delivering His message to others. We can only do this by relying on God’s grace and power.

HOW HOLY RIGHTEOUS AND BLAMELESS WE WERE / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:10

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

HOW HOLY RIGHTEOUS AND BLAMELESS WE WERE / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:10

Paul does not accept the misguided view of some Christians who believe that the sin-covering sacrifice of Christ is sufficient for us to receive forgiveness but not sufficient enough to totally free us from the continued control of sin. This unbiblical teaching encouraged believers to accept sin as a natural part and an acceptable influence in the Christian life. Paul pleaded for them to look at his own life as an example that this is not true. 

  1. He begs them to remember his own conduct among the Thessalonians; he was “holy, righteous and blameless.” In other words, he showed complete moral purity and spiritual integrity. He did what was right and behaved in such a way that no one could justly accuse him of wrongdoing. 
  2. Paul called both the church and God Himself as witnesses that God’s grace (His unearned favor, love and spiritual enablement) provided enough motivation and power to purify himself “from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God” (2 Corinthians 1:12; 2:17; 6:3-10; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Timothy 1:3). This does not mean that Christians will never sin, but they do not have to sin; God’s power is always sufficient for us to overcome and remain free from sin if we rely on Him and follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:7

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:7

Paul and his associates offer an example of the spiritual attitude that all missionaries, evangelists and pastors should have as they preach Christ’s message. 

  1. As missionaries (ones taking Christ’s message to people of other cultures, communities and lands), they had a mother’s gentle and caring attitude. They were willing to make great sacrifices, doing whatever was necessary to nurture, protect and meet the spiritual needs of God’s people and those whom they had led to faith in Christ. 
  2. Their gentleness implies that they did not act like important or superior people. They were patient rather than harsh with people as they grew in their faith. 
  3. The missionaries possessed such a deep love for the Thessalonians that they were willing to share their very lives with the people (1 Thessalonians 2:8).
  4. They devoted long hours, even to the point of extreme fatigue, in order to bring them Christ’s message, help them grow spiritually and establish effective ministry in their church (1 Thessalonians 2:9).
  5. They lived hold and blameless lives (lives of moral purity, spiritual integrity and devotion to God) so that sincere people could not accuse them of wrongdoing. They guided and encouraged the people as any good father would (1 Thessalonians 1:10-12).

WE SPEAK NOT TRYING TO PLEASE MEN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:4

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

WE SPEAK NOT TRYING TO PLEASE MEN / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4

Every preacher of the gospel faces the temptation to please other people – trying to gain their acceptance, approval and honor (1 Thessalonians 2:6) – by preaching only what people want to hear and what will not offend them. 

  1. Giving in to this temptation may take the form of tolerating sin, spiritual compromise and complacency in the congregation (Revelation 2:20: Revelation 3:15-16). It may also involve the use of flattering speech or entertainment-oriented ministry in order to increase attendance, promote financial giving, gain higher positions or receive honor from others (1 Thessalonians 2:4-6).
  2. If this occurs, a church may suffer irreparable damage to its integrity and ability to represent Christ to its community. For this reason, it is essential that one’s motive in preaching – or any kind of ministry or Christian service – should always be to please God and not to gain approval from other people (1 Corinthians 4:5; Galatians 1:9; Galatians 1:10; Luke 1:17; 2 Timothy 4:3-4).

OUR VISIT TO YOU / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:1-2

 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

OUR VISIT TO YOU / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:1-2

In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul reminds the Thessalonians of the integrity of his conduct while he was serving with them. Paul’s opponents had slandered his character and questioned his motives in preaching the message of Christ.

THE LORD SAW THAT LEAH WAS NOT LOVED / GENESIS 29:31

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:31

And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

THE LORD SAW THAT LEAH WAS NOT LOVED / GENESIS 29:31

God allowed Leah to have children. One of her sons was Judah, an ancestor of Christ (Matthew 1:3; Matthew 1:16). Often God takes the side of those who are neglected or treated wrongfully (Psalms 9:18; 22:24; Luke 4:18). In the end, God will not tolerate injustice, especially among His people (Colossians 3:25).

LABAN GAVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER RACHEL TO BE HIS WIFE / GENESIS 29:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:28

And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.

LABAN GAVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER RACHEL TO BE HIS WIFE / GENESIS 29:28

Jacob’s marriage to two sisters went against what God had intended from creation. He planned from the beginning that marriage should consist of only one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21). Later, God specifically banned Jacob’s type of marriage (Leviticus 18:18). The New Testament also considers monogamy (one wife and one husband) as the only rightful form of marriage (Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:4-9). God may have tolerated polygamy (a husband having more than one wife) in the Old Testament because people often lacked a full understanding or simply ignored God’s will about marriage. The evil effects of polygamy are described in Genesis 29:30; 30:1; 35:22; 1 Kings 11:1-12.

WHY HAVE YOU DECEIVED ME? / GENESIS 29:25

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 29:25 

When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?”

WHY HAVE YOU DECEIVED ME? / GENESIS 29:25

Perhaps God was letting Jacob learn a hard lesson about all the evil and hurt he had caused when he deceived his own father and brother (Genesis 27). We must understand that although God forgives us for a certain sin, He may also discipline us for that sin (2 Samuel 12:7-14). God’s spiritual principle remains: “Do not be deceived … a man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7; Proverbs 22:8; Hosea 8:7; 10:12-13). In other words, there are definite consequences for our actions – good or bad – and what we put into things will come back to us.

THE KINGDOM AND HEALING / MATTHEW 4:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 4:23

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

THE KINGDOM AND HEALING / MATTHEW 4:23

Jesus’ ministry connects the message of God’s kingdom directly to holistic healing. In the gospels, when Jesus preaches that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, He immediately demonstrates its power by healing bodies, minds, and spirits.

The Inbreaking of the Kingdom

The gospel accounts show that God’s kingdom is not just a future destination. It is an active reality that breaks into our broken world. In Matthew 4:23, we see a clear three-fold pattern of Jesus’ ministry:

  • Teaching in the synagogues
  • Preaching the good news of the kingdom
  • Healing every disease and sickness among the people

Jesus did not separate the spiritual message of salvation from the physical reality of human suffering. When He announced God’s reign, He brought the physical proof of that reign. This meant driving out demons, curing paralysis, and restoring broken minds.

A Holistic Salvation

God’s kingdom purposes are comprehensive. The ministry of Jesus addresses the entire human experience:

  • The Body: Healing physical ailments, blindness, and chronic pain.
  • The Mind: Restoring peace to the tormented and mentally afflicted.
  • The Soul & Spirit: Forgiving sin, freeing the oppressed, and offering eternal life.

We see this same pattern continued when Jesus sent out His disciples in Matthew 10:7-8, telling them to preach the kingdom and heal the sick. The same commission follows in Luke 9:1-2 and through the early church in Acts 8:6-7. Healing is the natural byproduct of God’s perfect government invading a fallen world.

Living in the “Now and Not Yet”

While we experience the benefits of the kingdom today, we also live in tension. God heals miraculously right now to validate His gospel. Yet, we still wait for the final resurrection when all sickness will be permanently undone. Until that day, we pray with bold expectation for God’s power to touch our bodies and minds, while trusting His grace to sustain us.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your kingdom is filled with life, power, and restoration. We lift up our bodies, minds, and spirits to You today, asking for Your healing touch where we are broken or weak. Drive out anxiety, cure our infirmities, and renew our souls by Your Holy Spirit. Help us to walk daily in the authority and peace of Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
