Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (2Th 3:3) “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”   From the context, we know the evil the Lord is asked to keep them from was persecution. We can rightly say, though, the Lord wishes to keep all His children from evil: evil ways and evil things. The problem is God’s children don’t always desire such. Since we haven’t obeyed the Lord in reprogramming our thinking (Rom 12:1-2), we don’t see sin as God sees it. To us, it is not such a bad thing. Yet, it was for that “not such a bad thing” Jesus suffered the cross.
