‘The Basis For Mutual
Encouragement.’
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11.
a)
1 Thessalonians 5:9. God did not destine us to
suffer His Wrath.
b)
1 Thessalonians 5:9. God intends us to obtain
Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
c)
1 Thessalonians 5:10. Jesus died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we will live
together with Him.
d)
1 Thessalonians 5:11. In the Light of verses
nine and ten we are to encourage one another and build each other up. It is
what we should be doing already.

Mutual Encouragement)
Chris.
All things to all people is a very good and
effective way to win people to Jesus Christ. We not only learn about other
cultures through books that we read before we visit or go to them, we also
learn by living amongst the people. The idea of Missionaries living away from
the culture and lifestyle of the people they are attempting to serve is a bad
idea. We need to integrate with the local people if we are going to be effective
Missionaries.
