“As we pray to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1 Thessalonians 1:3 NLT
- Faithful Work
- We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. John 9:4
- Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I Cor. 4:2
- Faithful Love
- Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who LOVE him. James 1:12
- Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments. Matthew 22:37, 39-40
- Full of hope
- We have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people – the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel” Colossians 1:4–5
- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
