Thessalonians – Chapters 1&2 In Christ our lives are channels of grace and peace Our work is produced by faith, our labour is prompted by love, our endurance is inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. We know we are loved by God We turn from idols to serve the living and true God, and we wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. In nurturing faith in others we seek to deal with others as a father deals with his own children, we encourage, comfort and urge others to live lives worthy of God, who calls us into his kingdom and glory. And we are thankful Seeing faith and love in others, gives us strength, encouragement and joy.

Warning It is possible to see faith and love in others, and feel discouraged. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. It is possible to be encouraged, when we see Christ in others. Seeing faith and love in others, gives us strength, encouragement and joy.

1 Thessalonians 3 2:14 For you, brothers and sisters, suffered from your own people 3:1 So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens. 2 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them. 4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. 5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labours might have been in vain. Seeing faith and love in others, gives us strength, encouragement and joy.

Thank God for his written Word to us 6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith. 11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. Thank God for his written Word to us Seeing faith and love in others, gives us strength, encouragement and joy.
