To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;
Paul constantly prays for the Thessalonians that God will count them "worthy of his calling." The only way to be considered "worthy of his calling" is to accept the invitation of Jesus and to live a faithful and dedicated life of service to God. Christians are taught to read, study, and obey the scriptures, for contained therein is the will of God.
