The heart, in biblical terms, often represents the center of one's being, including mind, will, and emotions. The idea of God establishing hearts suggests a firm foundation, echoing <a href="/psalms/112-7.htm">Psalm 112:7</a>, where the righteous are described as having steadfast hearts. This divine action is necessary for spiritual stability and growth.in blamelessness and holiness Blamelessness refers to a state of being without fault or guilt, while holiness denotes being set apart for God's purposes. These qualities are essential for believers, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/1-4.htm">Ephesians 1:4</a>, where Paul writes about being holy and blameless before God. The call to holiness is a recurring theme in Scripture, reflecting God's own nature (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>).before our God and Father This phrase highlights the relational aspect of the believer's life with God, who is both a sovereign deity and a loving Father.

It refers to the anticipated return of Christ, as promised in <a href="/acts/1-11.htm">Acts 1:11</a>. This event is characterized by judgment and the fulfillment of God's kingdom. The expectation of Christ's return serves as motivation for ethical living and spiritual readiness, as seen in <a href="/2_peter/3-11.htm">2 Peter 3:11-12</a>.with all His saints The term "saints" refers to all believers, both living and deceased, who are sanctified in Christ.

It also reflects the communal aspect of salvation, where believers are united with Christ and each other.Amen. "Amen" is a term of affirmation, meaning "truly" or "so be it." It is used to express agreement with what has been said, often concluding prayers or doxologies.

Perfect and settled sanctification in the eyes of God is the object in view, and the means by which it is to be attained is growing and overflowing love toward mankind. (See <a href="/colossians/3-14.htm" title=" And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.">Colossians 3:14</a>.) St. Paul is already thinking, probably, how he shall treat the subject of chastity in the next chapter. (See Note on <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-6.htm" title="That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.">1Thessalonians 4:6</a>.)Before God . . . at the coming.--The hearts are to be unblamably holy before God--not only all through life, but also at the Judgment Day, when Jesus Christ is to judge us in the Father's presence. Though He has "committed all judgment unto the Son" (<a href="/john/5-22.htm" title="For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:">John 5:22</a>), yet the judgment is His own, and the Son is the agent by whom He judges, just as He is the agent by whom He creates (see <a href="/acts/17-31.htm" title="Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.">Acts 17:31</a>): therefore in that day it is in the Father's sight rather than in the Son's (though there can be no divergence between Them) that we are to be able to clear ourselves.With all his saints--i.e., attended by them:-"Thousand, thousand saints attending, . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_thessalonians/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - To the end (in order that) he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God. In the sight of God, in his judgment who searcheth the hearts. The words, "before God," are to be conjoined neither with "holiness" nor with "unblamable," but with the whole phrase, "unblamable in holiness." Even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; at the second advent. With all his saints. By "saints" or "holy ones" are by some understood the angels who shall accompany Christ to judgment; but although the term "saints" is used of the angels in the Old Testament, it is never so employed in the New.
