2 Thessalonians 1:3-4

There is no other truth than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Only in Him and through Him can we be saved. There will come a time of judgement for those who choose not to accept the salvation God provided through the birth, death and resurrection of our blessed Savior.

His love conquers all and covers a multitude of sins. 

Paul boasts about the Thessalonians because of the flourishing of their faith and love. For this reason, they serve as a model for other churches. Faithlfe Bible.

Since the writing of 1 Thessalonians, reports had come to Paul of continued progress in the Thessalonian church, indicating their faithfulness to the gospel. However, doctrinal problems had also arisen. False teachers had begun to tell the believers in Thessalonica that the day of the Lord was already at hand. These teachers were misapplying and possibly even twisting Paul’s teaching that the day of the Lord would come suddenly. Most likely because of this, some of the believers had stopped working and were simply waiting for the Lord. Mounting persecution may have also fueled these extreme beliefs about the Second Coming.

The Thessalonians’ steadfast faith not only strengthened them to withstand difficult circumstances, it also motivated them to express genuine love for others. A Christian’s faith in Christ should always culminate in true love for others. NKJ Bible.

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,
