“And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;” 1Thes. 1:6-9 (KJV) SAINTS REMEMBER HOW THE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST AT THE CHURCH IN THESSALONICA AND OF THE LORD, HAVING RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD WHILE BEING SUBJECTED TO MUCH PERSECUTION, POSSESSED JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST: SO THE APOSTLE PAUL BEARS WITNESS TO HOW THE CHURCH AT THESSALONICA MODELED TO ALL THAT BELIEVED IN MACEDONIA AND ACHAIA THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST. FOR THEY SOUNDED OUT THE WORD OF THE LORD NOT ONLY IN THEIR AREA, BUT ALSO IN EVERYPLACE THEIR FAITH IN GOD WAS SPREAD ABROAD; SO PAUL AND HIS COMPANIONS HAD NO NEED TO SPEAK. FOR THEY SHOWED THE INFLUENCE OF THE APOSTLE PAUL’S COMING HAD ON THEM, AND HOW THEY TURNED TO GOD FROM IDOLS TO SERVE THE LIVING AND TRUE GOD.
