Answer: Paul is writing that he charged the Thessalonians to do this, and chapter 1:3, and all the chapter tells us how they did it, and how we also can do so, by walking in the same path in our “work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God our Father.” They turned to God from idols to serve the living and the true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven, Jesus, our Deliverer from the coming wrath. (1 Thess. 1:3,9-103Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; (1 Thessalonians 1:3)
9For they themselves show 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. (1 Thessalonians 1:9‑10)).
Answer: To those who truly love Him, it was more than either of them. It was love’s gift to express to us His love; and in our remembering Him, we express our love to Him. Precious privilege!
Question: What is meant by “Make to yourselves friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness?” What does “fail,” and “everlasting habitations” mean? Luke 16:99And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (Luke 16:9).
Answer: Man is looked at as a steward here. We found ourselves unfaithful stewards that must give account. Now we are converted, we are still stewards. The wise steward makes use of the present stewardship for the future.
