There are several passage in the Thessalonian epistles that teach the importance of patience. All true Christians will patiently wait for Jesus Christ. Christians are patient because of the hope they have in the glory of eternal life. While patiently waiting, Christians are proved because of their faith. The Word of God provides comfort while patiently waiting for Christ to return. Their patience is particularly on display during the period of time known as the Great Tribulation.
