Though the Christians knew better and weren't persuaded, Paul still felt it necessary for their sake and the gospel's to defend the faithfulness of his ministry. The result is an incredibly helpful model of faithful ministry for us to follow. </p> <p> </p> <p>Series Summary:</p> <p>Called the "Cinderella Epistles of the New Testament" by some, 1-2 Thessalonians are an often overlooked treasure of gospel hope for those who follow Jesus. Despite intense persecution, the Church of the Thessalonians persevered in the faith, longing for the day that Jesus returns to deliver his people and judge the wicked. Exemplifying the unique and genuine bond that arises through a shared faith and struggle, the Apostle Paul wrote to remind the beleaguered Thessalonians of their hope in Christ and to instruct them on how to carry on until he comes.
