Paul talks about Christian love, agape love, in 1 Thessalonians 3:12 and 13. This passage speaks directly toward Christians on how and who we are supposed to love, and where this love comes from.

What do you pray for when you pray to God? If you’re like me, you’re guilty from time to time of praying for God to give you things, or to do things for you. I believe God does want us to come to Him and ask for things, but that should not dominate what [...] 1 Thessalonians 3 is all about Christians becoming closer to each other, fighting the same fights together and missing each other when we are away. It presumes that the Christians are unified in their faith and cause. Without this unification Christians are just acquaintances and not brothers and sisters in Christ. In verses 6 [...] If you are a Christian, you will face hardships. It is inevitable.

We are able to strengthen each others faith when we are with each other. Paul talks in 1 Thessalonians 2 about how he longed to be with the people of Thessalonica, but there was one who kept him from them. 1 Thessalonians 2:17,18 [...] If you’re a Christian, you can expect to meet resistance from those who are not Christian. It is your nature to be like Christ; it is the world’s nature to not be like Christ. The two cannot coexist harmoniously. This is the case now, and it was the case even before Jesus Christ came [...] The Bible we have is an amazing Book. The books in it were written over a span of 6000 years by many different writers, most of who never met each other. Each of the words that the authors wrote was inspired by God. The Bible is eternal. If we came back to earth a [...] Older Christians and Christians more mature in the Word of God have a greater responsibility than those who are new Christians. In fact, mature Christians have an obligation to younger Christians because those who have been Christians longer have seen and experienced things that the younger Christians have not.
