2 Thessalonians 1:12
v. 12: Paul explains why he prays this way: “That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ”(2 Thessalonians 1:12 a). The goal is that Jesus would be honored and praised through the lives of the believers, and that they would also share in His glory. This all happens because of the grace of God and Jesus, not by human effort. Paul reminds them that all their good works and faith come from God’s kindness and power, and that their lives should always point back to Jesus’ glory.
