The Message
1 Thessalonians 2:13 says, “For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.”
These believers received not the words of man, but the words of God, and as such it was the truth. The truth of God’s word is effective in the lives of believers, and it changed their lives in such a way that they turned from worshipping their idols to worshipping the one and only creator God. They put all their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
God’s word has the power to change and transform anyone’s life who will seek him. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells us in 11:10, “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Those are promises from Jesus himself.
Scripture of the Week
This prophetic word came through the prophet Isaiah, who lived at least 700 years before the birth of Christ.
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us: And the government will rest on his shoulders; And his name will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, eternal father, prince of peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
