Key Point #1: Walking with God involves controlling our own bodies in a way that is holy and honorable (cf. 1 Thess. 4:1-8).

Key Point #2: Walking with God involves loving those inside and outside of the church (cf. 1 Thess. 4:9-12).

Key Point #3: Walking with God involves living in anticipation of Jesus' return (cf. 1 Thess. 4:13-18).

Rapture: The Rapture of the church is the event in which the bride of Christ (i.e., the church) are “lifted up” and carried to be with her Bridegroom, Christ prior to the Tribulation. The two primary verses associated with this event are 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. All believers who have previously died will be resurrected and given glorified bodies. All living believers will also be given glorified bodies (cf. 1 John 3:2). All believers, whether they are living or have died will be lifted to meet Jesus in the clouds (cf. 1 Thess. 4:17). This event is not the same as the Second Coming in which Christ descends to the earth on the Mount of Olives (cf. Zech. 14:3-4). Christ comes for His Church at the Rapture. Christ comes with His Church at the Second Coming.

One Last Thought:
May your walk with the Lord be honorable. May your walk with the Lord find favor with others. May your walk with the Lord be steadfast in the anticipation of Christ's return.
