Relationships in the Body of Christ: Encourage and Build Up One Another

1 Thessalonians 5:11

What is biblical encouragement?
It speaks biblical truth to one another and points them to the future glories in Jesus Christ.

Therefore: because of –
Vs. 1-3 – The Day of the Lord
.         Joel 2:28-32, Zephaniah 1:14-18, 3:15; Zechariah 13:2
Vs. 4-6 – Our change of nature
Vs. 7-8 – Our change of behavior
Vs. 9-10 – Our completely different future

So what do we do in light of all of that?
.         1. Encourage one another  
.                    1 Thessalonians 4:18
.         2. Edify one another
.                     Ephesians 4:29
