1 Thessalonians 5
1. He proceeds in the description of Christ's coming to judgment;
16. and gives various instructions;
23. and so concludes the epistle.














The One who calls you
This phrase emphasizes the divine initiative in the Christian life. The Greek word for "calls" is "καλέω" (kaleō), which implies a summons or invitation. In the context of the New Testament, this calling is not merely an invitation but a powerful, effectual call that brings believers into a relationship with God. Historically, this reflects the understanding that God is the initiator of salvation, reaching out to humanity. The calling is personal and specific, indicating that God knows each believer intimately and has a purpose for their life.

is faithful
The Greek word for "faithful" is "πιστός" (pistos), which conveys reliability, trustworthiness, and steadfastness. In the biblical context, God's faithfulness is a central theme, underscoring His unchanging nature and His commitment to His promises. Throughout Scripture, God's faithfulness is demonstrated in His covenant relationships with His people, from the promises made to Abraham to the fulfillment of those promises in Christ. This assurance of God's faithfulness provides believers with confidence and hope, knowing that He will never abandon them.

and He will do it
This phrase assures believers of God's active role in fulfilling His promises. The Greek verb "ποιήσει" (poiēsei) is in the future tense, indicating certainty and determination. It reflects the biblical theme that God not only initiates His work in believers but also brings it to completion. This is reminiscent of Philippians 1:6, where Paul expresses confidence that God will complete the good work He began in believers. Historically, this assurance would have been particularly comforting to the Thessalonian church, which faced persecution and challenges. It reminds all believers that God's purposes will be accomplished, not by human effort, but by His sovereign power and grace.

(24) Faithful is he.--A reason for hoping confidently that they will be blamelessly preserved. God would forfeit His character for keeping His promise, if He "called," and did not enable men to obey the call. Of course He can only "do it" in case they continue willing to have it done. On the present tense, see Note on 1Thessalonians 2:12.

Verse 24. - Faithful is he that calleth you. Paul knows that he does not beseech God in vain. He who calls you to the Christian faith is faithful to fulfill his promises. God's calling is the commencement of a series which terminates in glorification (Romans 8:30). A similar appeal to the faithfulness of God is elsewhere made by the apostle (1 Corinthians 1:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:3). Who also will do it; namely, will preserve you blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
