Like all of us, the Thessalonians were an imperfect group of people. However, this congregation was endeared to the Apostle Paul and found a special place in his heart.

The Gospel had transformed this rag-tag group of people (including some pagan idolaters) into a model young church that "sounded forth" the Word of God through the land and left Paul beaming with pride. Distressed and persecuted for their newfound faith, this group of believers only grew stronger in their love for each other and their fellow man.

Mark the key words in these letters and discover just how powerful the Gospel message is in the lives of those who put their sole trust in the Lord. From day-to-day matters to deep theological considerations, the Thessalonian letters are sure to deepen your relationship with the Lord.

The Bible Keywording Guide (BKG) is an easy-to-use series of manuals designed to help Bible students of any level identify and mark critical information found in each book of the Bible. This includes things like key words, purpose statements, prayers, etc.

Each Bible book has its own set of peculiarities that, when marked, help the reader understand what the author is really saying. I was told once by a friend that before he understood what keywording was, a mechanical pencil and a yellow highlighter were "standard procedure" when it came to marking important ideas and insights in his Bible.

Maybe this sentiment has been true for you as well. Engage in this process and see how the Bible Keywording Guide will take you beyond the highlighter and bring you to a whole new level of Bible study!WHAT IS A KEY WORD? - A key word is a word that holds significant theological meaning and is often repeated by the author to convey his points and purposes for writing.

Key words are related to the themes and overall scope of the books. Without them, the author's emphasis and meanings would be greatly diminished, and even nonexistent in many cases.

Keywording is an essential component of Bible study (i. e.

exegesis) and is done using colors and/or symbols to distinguish certain words in the text. Leave the highlighter in the drawer.
