...by word only?

Greg Simnor

Hi guys,

Here is my thought for the week...

Q. Did the gospel message we received come to us by word only?

We read in 1 Thessalonians 1:5 Paul affirming to the church in Thessalonica that the gospel they received did not come to them in word only, but also in power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.

I want us to meditate on this passage and ask ourselves what was our testimony?
Have we received the message of the cross in word only; or have we received it not only in word, but also in power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction?

There is a massive difference between these two experiences and just like the Thessalonian church we must experience the later position and come into the fullness of Christ and transformation that they did.

Let us seek and pursue God for this reality in Him, as it will radically affect our relationship with Him.

Have a favoured week,

Greg
