Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2:20, Paul has only positive things to say about the Thessalonian church.They turned to God from idols and are waiting on Jesus to return from heaven to deliver us from the wrath to come. Jesus conquers death and delivers us from death. We need to remember this. Today is the day of salvation. There is an urgency. God has provided you a way to escape through His Son. We are all answerable to God. God tests us in a way that we will get stronger -- producing character, endurance and hope.Paul exhorted them to walk in a manner worthy of God.
