1 Thessalonians 1:6-8
You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.
Reflection
Speaking the gospel with each other is not meant to be a mechanical exercise. It must be genuine and natural, not canned or forced. It flows from our faith, who God created us to be, and how God has equipped us through experience and language.
· How have you witnessed faith positively modeled by others?
· How have these models encouraged you to grow in your faith?
