2Thess.2:13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth. 2:14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Here Paul shocks us back into reality of truth and spirit, whom sanctifies us? It certainly not a end time prophecy that those loving unrighteousness in pleasure would have you believe as life and death, no! It is instead Christ Jesus righteous holy life given us by what?

Well, certainly not our own good efforts as this man of sin promotes as personal righteousness, but a gift of God in Christ Jesus we heard through the Good News about him. What glory are we called too? A glory of a teacher claiming to know the coming of our Lord, or Christ Jesus glory whom stated that he did not know the day and hour of his coming? Yes, our salvation lays in Christ Jesus righteousness which sanctifies us, making us sinless before God for not keeping his righteous law of love.

1Cor.1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

We than are saved in the blood of Christ, we are not saved by our own good efforts in putting away the works of our flesh. We are saved by God good conscience in removing our judgment by the blood of Christ so we can have good conscience before Him in teaching us love. Paul shocks us into reality, nothing has changed from the first Good News, about God's unmerited kindness towards sinner, not one thing accept for false predictions that excites the fleshly mind not in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

In other words, trust the truth given us by God's Holy Spirit as undeserved kindness, a gift of truth and love, stay in Christ where that Spirit and truth is found for those sanctified by God's Holy Spiritual temple.

1 Corinthians 6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own.

1 Corinthians 9:13 Don't you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."{Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27}
