Knowing Your Election

The believers of Thessalonica:

Had a faith that works, a labor that loved, a hope that was patient

They became followers→examples→witnesses

They turned to God, served Him, waited for Him

These actions assured Paul and the believers that they were truly saved.  In what way did this first chapter of Thessalonians minister to you or challenge you?

Trust in Jesus' Name

And in His name Gentles will trust....   Matthew 12:21

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother  Matthew 12:30

And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."  John 6:40
