Paul introduces his letter as a letter that will be about the gospel, which is about faith. The term "faith" includes God's faithfulness to us as well as our faith in Christ.

Paul approaches people as objects of love and thanksgiving — people are the point of ministry and loving thankfulness is the right approach.
