Some people in the Thessalonian Church were falsely teaching that because Christ would return any day, people should set aside their responsibilities, quit work, dont future planning.
But their lack of activity only led them into sin (like gossiping, etc.). They became a burden to the Church which was supporting them, they wasted time that could have been used for helping others, and they became meddlers. These Church members may have thought that they were being more spiritual by not working.
Being ready for Christ means obeying HIM in every area of life. Because we know that Christ is coming, we must live in such way that our faith and our daily practice will please HIM when HE arrives.
