What is the Apostle Paul’s concern for the church or young Christian that has started really well? That they live to please God, that they overflow in love for one another and that they are exposed to the teaching of the gospel. How will such desires be achieved? Only as God acts.
Sustained growth
1 Thessalonians 3:11–13
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you, 12 and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, 13 so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
