Realistic and Accurate Confirmation
1 Thessalonians 1:3~5│ ...remembering before our God and
Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. (3)
Unbelievers become anxious because of their unknown
futures. Consequently, they seek fortunetellers and visit
shamans when problems occur. The problem is that Christians
also worry about their futures. God has given you the
accurate method to know His will about the future.
There is something you must confirm through this method.
1. Old Frames
The Israelites were locked in the frame of their old ideology.
They possessed a slave mentality, wilderness mentality, captive
mentality, and colonization mentality. Also, they were seized
by religious legalism, unhealthy mysticism, and humanism.
Eventually, seven disasters came upon them. The people who
broke these frames were the Remnants and those who raised
Remnants. If you just hold onto God’s covenant, you can
break your “old frames.”
2. New Frames
The Early Church enjoyed Christ, God’s Kingdom, and “only
Holy Spirit.”Acts 1:1, 3, and 8 God attached those who staked
their lives to these people,Acts 1:14 and He gave the greatest
answers to Mark’s upper room.Acts 2:1~47 Even though there
was famine
throughout the land, the Antioch Church received blessings
from God.Acts 11:19~30 Paul’s team instilled “new frames,”
and God showed them “new frames.”Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:21,
23:11, and 27:24
The church of Thessalonica had faith, hope, and love. The
Gospel was revealed through God’s power, the Holy Spirit,
and great assurance. A walk of faith is going forward with God’s
plan instead of your own, going forward with God’s Word
instead of your opinions, and looking ahead at God’s future
instead of your own future. I hope that the color of faith of
the church of Thessalonica becomes yours.
