1 Thessalonians 1:7-10 So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.… I. THE WRATH TO WHICH WE WERE EXPOSED BEFORE OUR DELIVERANCE. II. OUR DELIVERANCE. Out of love to us Christ assumed our nature, placed Himself under our curse. By this He rescues us. III. THE PROOF THAT OUR FULL PURCHASE FROM WRATH IS PAID. His resurrection. IV. CHRIST'S FUTURE COMING. It is certain even if delayed — therefore we must not be impatient but wait for it. Conclusion: 1. Be thankful for your redemption. 2. Do not fret because you are not released from present evils. 3. Patiently discharge every present duty, and so wait for the coming of the Lord from heaven. (Dr. Belfrage.)
