About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from A Commentary on the New Testament, Vol. 4 The Apostle begins with a thanksgiving for what God has so far wrought in the congregation. He and his companions of that time can never in their prayer make mention of all of the individual church members without also rendering thanks to God, because, before the presence of God, who, as their Father, has at all times blessed their work, they constantly recall the prosperous condition of the congregation. In particular the Apostle thinks of the work of their faith, which shows itself at all times as a confidence in the grace and in the promise of God, as also of their love, which spares no effort in its service to the brethren, and of their endurance, with which, even in oppressions, they cling to the hope that their exalted Lord will bring to them the consummation of their redemption. He feels impelled to give thanks for this, because he sees in all of this the signs of their election, for which reason he calls them the brethren beloved of God, and hence can certainly count upon it, that God will bring to a final consummation the work that has been begun in them. The fact that they were elected certainly appeared already at that time, when he and his companions were preaching the gospel among them.
