A letter to Thessalonian Church where Paul, Silas and Timothy are writing. First they acknowledge that their Church has Change; how when Paul told them of Christ it wasn't just pushed off as words but it entered their lives and CHANGED them. It says that they let the Holy Spirit convict them, and that through that conviction they grew in numbers and in faith! They then write that "people from other churches looked up to them, and that they didn't need to say anything anymore but that their LIVES were the message." It says The people of this church left their old lifestyles and then embraced the true God, and When they embraced God they were free of Errors, Mixed Motives, and Two Faced Behaviors.
They go on to say that the Thessalonian Church was so outstanding not only for how they changed but how they persevered through all of the Troubles Satan sent them and how even though they were being attacked they shined through that darkness, and that they are praying for the Church. Then Paul says 1 Thes 4:3 " God Called you to live a pure life free from sexual promiscuity, Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body" He says for the Church not to worry because God will deal with ANY problem they come to, and that all they Have to do is love each other (Period) if the Church would spend as much time loving Each other as they do complaining that (the sermon was to long) or (I didn't like the Music) than all of those other things in our mind would not even matter to us anymore!!
The Church of Thessalonian GOT IT and all Paul had to say to them was that they are doing as God wants. my prayer is that the Church of today would live as the Thessalonians Church being Pure, and worry less and that we LOVE each other all the time, Because that is what Christ Wants.
