This is the Apostle Paul's first epistle to the church in Thessalonica. He commends the Thessalonian church for their faith, hope, and love, and encourages them to grow in these areas even more. Paul tells the Church that before Christ returns, all the Believers who have died will be resurrected and together with living Believers they will all be "caught up" or raptured into the sky to meet Christ. From that point forward, the Church will always be with the LORD.
