For 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;
Witness the great cycle of Christian testimony:
· Everywhere Paul went, he would have told the believers about those in Thessalonica.
It turned out he didn’t have to.
· The Thessalonians were so active in their witness for Christ that their testimony had spread abroad.
· In fact, everywhere Paul went, the believers were telling him about the Thessalonian believers.
· Paul had no one to tell, except to write back to those in Thessalonica and tell them about their own testimony.
And here is their testimony: “ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.”
· They had been idolaters, worshipping idols.
· They turned away from them to God. That’s repentance. But
· They did more than turn to God. They turned to serve Him.
It might be said that none have truly repented unless their repentance leads to service.
