In today’s passage, the apostle praises God that the Thessalonians believers were flourishing in the face of increased opposition. He gives thanks for their growing faith.

Martin Luther’s rediscovery of the truth that we are justified by grace alone through faith alone got to the very heart of the Gospel.
