He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;16. and gives various instructions; 23. and so concludes the epistle. For God This phrase establishes the divine authority and sovereignty of God. The Greek word for God here is "Theos," which is used throughout the New Testament to denote the one true God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. In the context of 1 Thessalonians, Paul emphasizes that it is God Himself who orchestrates the destiny of believers, underscoring His ultimate control and purpose in the lives of His people. has not appointed us to suffer wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ Hath not appointed.--Rather, did not appoint, referring to some mysterious moment of God's eternal counsels, when He fixed His predestination of us--whether the moment of creative thought, or of sending the gospel to us. The "wrath" is that which is to come upon the "children of wrath" at the Second Advent, as in 1Thessalonians 1:10; 1Thessalonians 2:16. (Comp. 1Peter 2:8.) We may well be confident then, for we ourselves are the only persons that can defeat God's predestinations. To obtain salvation.--More than "obtain;" the Greek means "acquire" by one's own efforts;" earn and make our own;" being the same word as is used in 1Timothy 3:13 and Acts 20:28 in the verb; and in the substantive in Ephesians 1:14 (where it is translated "purchased possession"); 2Thessalonians 2:14; Hebrews 10:39 (translated "saving"); and 1Peter 2:9, where see Note. It will be seen that God does not predestinate men to "salvation" without laborious acquisition on their part, but predestinates them to occupy a position in which they will be able to "work out their own salvation" by placing them "under grace" in the Church. The very same word is used of the Christian's way of securing salvation, and of Christ's way of securing it for him (see references); both are "purchasing," "earning." But mark that the Christian can only so purchase salvation "through our Lord Jesus Christ:" apart from Him a man can do nothing to redeem himself, but through union with Him the believer can pay the whole price of his salvation (see e.g. John 15:5); . . . Verse 9. - For. Not a new reason for watchfulness and sobriety, but referring to "the hope of salvation," why we may with confidence put on such a hope as a helmet. God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain - or, to the acquisition of - salvation by - or, through - our Lord Jesus Christ. Not through the doctrine of Christ, nor even through faith in Christ, but through the Lord Jesus Christ himself, through what he has done for us, and especially through his atoning death. The appointment of God's grace is here mentioned as the efficient cause of our salvation; and the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Mediator through whom salvation is bestowed.Parallel Commentaries ...
