<p style="text-align: left;"><b>Summary</b>:<br>Paul closes the letter by praying that the Lord of peace will continually give the believers peace in every circumstance and be with them all. He then writes the greeting in his own hand, identifying his handwriting as the distinguishing mark in his letters. Finally, he prays that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ will be with them all<br><br><br><b>Teaching:</b><br>Our faith does not belong to us, but to God. Therefore, when we say that we believe in Jesus, we do not believe according to our own preferences or in our own way. We must believe according to the faith God has given us, the substance of which is found in His Word.<br><br>As Paul teaches about the coming of Jesus, he urges believers to prepare themselves well. This preparation means keeping the Word. Those who keep the Word cannot live lazily or without discipline, nor can they live irresponsibly or indulge themselves without restraint. True end-times faith is expressed by living according to the Word each day.<br><br>When we live in this way, we experience the peace that God gives.<br><i><br></i><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Aug 12, 2026</i><i><br></i><i>2 Thessalonians 3:16-18</i></p>
