2 Th 3:14

If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter,
take special note of that person so as not to associate with him,
so that he will be put to shame.

Paul acknowledged that there might be some who would not obey his instructions.

You saw what Paul said to do.
- Take special note of that person
- Do not associate with him
- So that he will be put to shame

Our society/“church” views such as “rude” and “un-christ-like”.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The goal of this “non-association” is the restoration of the person.

We see this in other “church discipline” passages in the Word.

The goal is restoration.
Restoration in truth.
Restoration in love.
Restoration from repentance from sin.

The Lord is clear.

Why do we resists?
