In biblical context, the "name" represents the character and authority of a person. Here, it signifies the recognition and honor due to Jesus as Lord. The glorification of Jesus in believers is a recurring theme in the New Testament, as seen in <a href="/john/17-10.htm">John 17:10</a>, where Jesus prays for His followers to bring Him glory. Historically, the early church faced persecution, and their steadfastness served as a testimony to the power and presence of Christ in their lives. This glorification is not just a future hope but a present reality, as believers live out their faith in a way that reflects Christ's character.and you in Him This part of the verse highlights the reciprocal relationship between Christ and believers. As believers glorify Jesus, they too are glorified in Him. This mutual glorification is rooted in the union with Christ, a central theme in Pauline theology. <a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a> speaks of believers being "heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ," indicating a shared glory. Theologically, this reflects the transformative power of grace, where believers are conformed to the image of Christ (<a href="/romans/8-29.htm">Romans 8:29</a>). Culturally, this was a radical concept in the Greco-Roman world, where honor and status were highly valued. In Christ, believers find their true identity and worth.according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ This phrase underscores that the glorification of both Jesus and believers is entirely dependent on divine grace. Grace is a foundational concept in Christian doctrine, emphasizing unmerited favor and the enabling power of God. <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a> highlights that salvation and all its benefits are by grace through faith. The mention of both "our God" and "the Lord Jesus Christ" affirms the deity of Christ and the unity of the Godhead. Historically, this was a crucial affirmation for the early church, distinguishing Christian belief from other religious systems. Theologically, it reassures believers that their hope and transformation are secure, not by their own efforts, but by the sovereign grace of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a> - The apostle who authored the letter to the Thessalonians, providing guidance and encouragement to the early Christian community. 2. <a href="/topical/t/thessalonica.htm">Thessalonica</a> - A city in Macedonia where the church to whom Paul is writing is located.

Seeing the favours bestowed upon the Christians in the last day, all, the lost as well as the saved, will be forced to acknowledge the glory (i.e., the divine perfection) of the Jesus whose Christship had been rejected, and the glory (i.e., the true dignity) of the Christians who had been despised for their allegiance to Him. It stands to reason that Christians must share Christ's "glory" (i.e., full recognition; comp.

The words "according to the grace" belong only to "and ye in Him:" it is the gracious will (for "grace" here has hardly its strict theological sense) of God, in which Christ concurs, that we should be thus "glorified in Him."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_thessalonians/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 12. - That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; or simply, of our Lord Jesus, "Christ" not being in the original. The "name of our Lord Jesus" is not a mere periphrasis for the Lord Jesus himself, but the name denotes his nature and character. The second petition of our Lord's prayer is "Hallowed be thy Name," and this the apostle applies to Christ; he prays that his Name may be hallowed among the Thessalonians - an incidental proof of his divinity. May be glorified in you, and you in him; a twofold glorification: Christ is glorified in believers, when by their holiness they promote his cause and reflect his glory; and believers are glorified in Christ, when they receive out of his infinite fulness. According to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Some suppose that the epithet "God" also belongs to Jesus Christ, but the construction hardly bears this meaning. <a href="/commentaries/2_thessalonians/1-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>so that ὅπως (hopōs) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3704.htm">Strong's 3704: </a> From hos and pos; what(-ever) how, i.e. In the manner that (as adverb or conjunction of coincidence, intentional or actual). the τὸ (to) Article - Nominative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
