This morning, in the NT, I read all five chapters of First Thessalonians. In chapter one, the Apostle Paul gave thanks to God when he remembered the faith of the Thessalonian brethren, how well known they were among the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. In particular, they had
- turned away from idol worship
- to serve the one true God, and
- to wait for the Son of God to return from heaven: Iesus, whom God had raised from the dead.
1 Thessalonians 1:8 - 10 NIV
8The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia – your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
