What does 2 Thessalonians 1:11 mean?

Paul and his coworkers kept praying for the Thessalonians. They were asking God to enable the Thessalonians to live up to their calling. They and all believers have been called to be holy. Second Peter 3:11 poses the question of what kind of people Christians should be in holy conduct and godliness. Also, we are called to be "pure and blameless for the day of Christ [the rapture], filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God" (Philippians 1:10–11). Further, we are called to shine as lights in a dark, sinful world (Philippians 2:15). If the Thessalonians led a holy and righteous life that revealed Christ to others, they would be worthy of their calling.

The missionaries were also praying constantly that God would empower the Thessalonians to fulfill their every desire to honor God and also fulfill their deeds that were motivated by their faith.
