2 Th 2:5
Do you not remember that while I was still with you,
I was telling you these things?

Paul had told the Thessalonians about “these things”…the gospel, that the Messiah had come, that the Lord would return.

Do we know these things?

The Lord has given us a vast treasure trove of information and insight.
It is called “The Bible”.

We would do well to read, learn the Bible…constantly, without delay, without hesitation.

No one ever “masters” the Bible, yet we can grow in our knowledge daily.
We can allow the Spirit of the Lord to speak.

Sadly, most believers do not.
At best they do a “devotion”…usually a short thought of man based upon a snippet of a portion of the word.
We then feel we have been “devote” for a moment, so all is well, then we go about our lives as we want.

Such should not be.

We must allow the Lord to transform us by the renewing of our mind through His Word, His Spirit and his Body.
We must be conformed to His likeness.
We must not be conformed to the world.

Rom 12:1-2
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Transformed…from one thing into another.
Conformed…pressed into the patter of something.
Know the things of the Lord - personally.
Live the things of the Lord - personally.
Manifest the power of the Lord - personally.
