2 Thessalonians 1:1-4 INCREASE IN FAITH AND LOVE


S - Paul, Silas[a] and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
O –
1.      Faith growing more and more
2.     Love for one another increasing
3.     Perseverance & Faith in all the persecution and trials
A – Faith has a direct relationship with love. The more we have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the more we tend to obey his commandment i.e to love one another. It is easy to be strong in faith when everything is going smooth, but faith stands test when we undergo persecutions and trails of all kinds.
P – Heavenly Father, I thank you for showing the faith of the Thessalonians which was strong even in the midst of trails of all kinds. Enable me also to persevere and put my trust in you even when things are not going right. Just as their love increased for each other let me also grow with your godly love for others so that I have a burden for them and pass on the good news to them.
In Jesus’ mighty name

AMEN
