Key themes of Galatians

• In his sin-bearing death, Jesus is a substitute for all Christians and through faith in him, Christians are brought into a new realm of freedom and life. (1:4, 2:20, 3:13) 
• Salvation is not by works but we are justified through our faith in Jesus.  The Old Testament testifies to the truth of justification by faith. (Gen. 15:6, Hab. 2:4)
• The Holy Spirit is the source of power and guidance in the Christian life, and the work of the Spirit produces love and faith. (5:6,16,18,25) 
• The Christian life is NOT about pleasing people but in pleasing Jesus and Christians should be willing to suffer for the sake of the cross. (1:10, 6:12, 14)

Key themes of Phillipians

• Christians need to keep making spiritual progress (1:12, 25; 3:12–16).
• Such progress requires a proper spiritual outlook (1:5–11; 2:1–11; 3:7, 15; 4:7–9).
• Christ is the supreme example for the Christian. Mature Christians can also serve as role models (1:12–26; 2:5–11, 19–30; 3:3–17; 4:9).
• Suffering will come, but Christians can still be joyful (1:12–26; 2:14–15; 4:4, 11–13, 19).
• Prayer is crucial for maintaining a joyful Christian life (1:3–11; 4:5–7).
• Christians can enjoy rich relationships with one another; they can be united in service to promote the gospel (1:4, 7, 24–27; 2:1–4, 19–30; 4:2–4, 14).
• Keeping the law cannot provide a right standing with God; believers are saved only through their faith in Jesus Christ (3:2–10).
• Jesus is fully God and fully man. Because of his suffering on the cross, he is now glorified as Lord and Christ (2:5–11).

Key themes of 1 Thessalonians

• God’s wrath comes on those who reject the gospel (2:16; 5:3).
• Jesus’ death and resurrection are the basis for the Christian’s hope (4:14; 5:10).
• Christians are destined not for wrath but for salvation when Christ returns (1:10; 5:4, 9).
• Christians who die will participate fully in the second coming (4:14–17; 5:10).
• Christians should live lives of complete holiness (3:13; 4:3–8; 5:23).
• Joy, especially in suffering, is a mark of the Christian (1:6; 5:16).
• Faith, hope, and love are essential traits of the Christian (1:2–3; 5:8).

Key themes of 2 Thessalonians

• God’s righteous judgment will be completed when Jesus returns. Unbelievers will be condemned and believers will be saved (1:5–10; 2:9–14).
• Christians will share Christ’s glory (1:10, 12; 2:14).
• Jesus will return after the “man of lawlessness” appears and humanity rebels for a final time (2:3–4, 9–12).
• The man of lawlessness will deceive all those who have rejected the gospel. Jesus will judge them when he returns (2:3, 6–12).
• Christians must not take advantage of the charity of fellow Christians (3:6–15).
