“For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 KJV
Paul writes to the newly founded church in Thessalonica of everyone telling the story of the kind of welcome they showed Paul and his team when they first came there. Everyone saw knows wonderfully they turned to God from idols to serve the true and living God. And now they eagerly expect His Son from heaven—Jesus, the Deliverer, Whom He raised from the dead and Who rescues us from the coming wrath. The Gospel of power changes lives. The Thessalonians had renounced the worship of false gods and turned wholeheartedly to the true God and become faithful servants. Every time true repentance takes place, a life is changed. The Thessalonians wholeheartedly turned to God and abandoned worshipping false gods, becoming passionate servants of the Lord Jesus Christ as they eagerly anticipated Him. Let’s move in the power of the Gospel as true repentance happens. Amen!
