The Message

In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, the apostle Paul writes, “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.”

The Gospel message came to the Thessalonians not only by the words spoken by Paul, but also with the power of the Holy Spirit, with much assurance.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

The word of God changes and transforms people’s lives. Its power, fueled by the Holy Spirit, convicts sin and brings people to a place of repentance. This is what happened to the Thessalonians, and it will do the same today for those who choose.

Scripture of the Week

“When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?” (Psalm 56:3).
