520 |a This study of 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 reveals that the passage presents the Christian life in simple three-point fashion, in terms of repentance, service to God and others, and our ultimate eschatological hope. These three points can be linked to God's work on three levels-personal, corporate (within the body of Christ), and cosmic, respectively. These days we can purchase books on many subjects like Computers for Seniors for Dummies1 and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Islam. (I have a volume entitled Philosophy Made Simple, which is an oxymoron for sure.) Indeed, sometimes it is helpful to present a concept as simply as possible. For this reason, this article might be called 'The Gospel for Dummies' or maybe 'The Gospel Made Simple' (though not simplistic). First Thessalonians 1:9-10 presents a three-point outline of the gospel. In these verses, we find out how to become a Christian and how to remain one. Three terms are particularly significant: 'turn' (repentance), 'serve' (service, discipleship), and 'wait' (hope and sanctification). Understanding these words in context, along with their theological significance, provides a basic framework for understanding the gospel. In this passage, Paul also provides a summary of his evangelistic preaching in three dimensions: the personal (individual), church (corporate), and cosmic (eschatological).
