1 Thessalonians 1:8 · KJV

"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."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁶And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

⁷So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

⁸For 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.

⁹For 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;

¹⁰And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHope

What kind of reputation does your church have? What vision do you have for the church you attend? We all have such limited sights for our churches. Only a few months old, the church in Thessalonica had gained a reputation for spreading its members' faith throughout the Roman Empire. Now that's the kind of reputation I hope the church I work with will obtain! What about you?

Prayer

O Lord God Almighty, please fill our congregation with Your Holy Spirit's strength so that we can communicate the good news of Your grace in Jesus Christ with bravery and empathy. Please join our missionaries, pastors, and members as we share and proclaim the Good News of Salvation to our family, friends, neighbors, and people everywhere. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
