    Expressive Love Of God: Book 2

    Expressive Love of God: Book 2 is the central theme of Scripture. Throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, love is shown not as an abstract concept but as the core of God’s relationship with humanity. “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love” (1 John 4:8, NKJV). 
I’ve personally seen this truth come to life throughout my journey. Growing up in a blended family taught me that love often requires forgiveness, especially when wounds are deep.  
During my years in the military, I learned that authentic leadership isn’t about wielding authority but about making sacrifices—prioritizing others' needs over our own. 
In my ministry work, I’ve seen God’s love heal broken marriages, reunite lost children, and bring peace to those facing the end of life.  
In the world of education, I’ve realized that merely knowing facts isn’t enough; true wisdom is revealed when we live the truth with love.

    Written shortly after its prequel, 2 Thessalonians was written by the Apostle Paul to reassure the Thessalonian church of the second coming of Christ and to refute the teachings of false prophets. After several forgeries of Paul's letters, the apostle himself alleviated their fears that the time of the end had already begun. 
In 2 Thessalonians, there are many prophecies depicting the rapture, the Antichrist and the times of tribulation which are detailed fully in Revelation.
