Who Restrains the Man of Sin?

Dear Juli,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus and thanks for all the work you do in explaining amazing scriptural truths to us. God bless you richly. I have a question, however.

Romans 8:9 says that if anyone doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he doesn't belong to Christ. This makes me wonder what will become of believers after the rapture for a paraphrase of 2 Thessalonians 2:6 is that the man of sin, the antichrist, is still withheld from the world. From the scripture, I think that He who restrains the activities of this man of sin is the Spirit of God. I think it is the Holy Spirit because only God is powerful enough to restrain evil from coming forth. Am I right?

If I am right in thinking that the Holy Spirit is the restrainer of this mystery, though, then it means that after He is removed from the earth, people will not be able to be saved after the rapture. It stands to reason, by that, that there won't be any hope for salvation during the Tribulation period. However, I am uncomfortable with this conclusion because I believe there will still be hope for man to turn towards God in repentance even after the church of Christ is gone.

Would you please kindly say something in clarity of this?

Thanks and regards,
Regina

Give Thanks in All Circumstances

Give Thanks in All Circumstances

Last night I went to the annual Thanksgiving Service at our church. I didn’t want to go. In fact, I wanted to be anywhere but there. I had been struggling all afternoon with hard emotions bubbling right under the surface facing today’s Thanksgiving holiday. For most, it’s a time for families to come together. For me, it is painful. I know I am not the only one who feels this way during the holidays.

The pastor taught on these verses…

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for your life in Christ Jesus” (I Thessalonians 5:16-18).

God’s will for your life and mine, is to give thanks in everything. These words hit me hard. To give thanks in the good times, in the hard time, in the sad times, in the happy time and even in the midst of the holidays that are difficult. His desires to have a people with grateful hearts.
