2 Thessalonians 2:11-15

Welcome to our Online Bible Study.

We are glad that you are here.

Today we are discussing:

2 Thessalonians 2:11-15 - For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. 14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

Please, take some time to Share Your Thoughts With Us as they relate to this passage.

You can share anything that is on your heart but, if you don't know where to start, try reading these verses and answering one or more of the following "Honest Questions"

Honest Questions:

1. What do you do when something you read in the Bible seems to disagree with something you have been taught to believe about God?

2. Are you willing to tell us about a time when you believed something to be true that turned out to be false? How did you come to know the truth and how did your knowledge of the truth impact your life?

3. Was there ever a time in your life when you "took pleasure in wickedness?" If so, what caused your desires to change?

4. Do you think you "took pleasure in wickedness" from birth or is it something you were taught to enjoy?

5. When verse 12 talks about people not believing the truth, what truth is the Apostle talking about them not believing?

6. How can a person know whether or not God has "chosen them from the beginning?"

7. Do you think of chosen, saved, sanctified, glorified as a sequential progression in the life of a believer or are those all words being used by the Apostle to describe a single experience? Why do you think that?

8. What are some of the "traditions" we should be teaching and holding on to? How did you learn them and how are you teaching them to others?

9. What was your favorite verse in 2 Thessalonians 2 and why?

10. Do you have any specific questions or prayer requests after reading 2 Thessalonians 2?
