1 Thessalonians was a Godsend. I needed to read some things today, and those were it. He knows what I need. This phrase in the first chapter stuck out to me;
work produced by faith
labor prompted by love
endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ
Sometimes we just work, but it isn't the kind of work produced by faith- what does work produced by faith even look like? Well, if faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" how does that produce work? I could answer it, but you might have a different answer in mind, you'll be more convinced by yours I'm sure.
I'd like to write more about this, but why don't you just sit down and read 1 Thessalonians yourself- I promise you it's worth your time.
PS I don't have to initiate things, in fact, last night I un-initiated something, which was actually really good (I think).
