       Surely, Paul and his companions had to be on fire to see the great things God was doing. And what exactly was the church in Thessalonica doing? Well, Paul recalls that they were a church of great faith and works done in love. You see, faith is critical for the success of the collective body of the church, as well as for the lives of individual members. Faith means the people of God are bold enough to follow the leading of his Spirit, and to do good things, works, through love for each other and love for others (both others belonging to Christ and people who are not Christians). Remember, faith is the opposite of fear. Where there is fear of doing something good, there is a lack of faith. Faith is the driving force that allows a church and individuals to be bold for Christ. Faith is stepping out with the belief that God is on your side, and the belief that God will help you accomplish his will—whatever good work you are doing for Christ.
