Our Lesson’s Theme Verse is found in this passage of Scripture…
“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; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
I Thessalonians 1:9-10

Conclusion:
Even as a young person finishing their Driver’s Ed training learns to follow their teacher’s example of being a good driver so as to not get a ticket and so as to lower their insurance premiums through good driving skills being displayed, so these Thessalonian believers had also come to prove that what they had been taught was real and actively working in their own personal and public lives because they followed after the living ensample of those who brought them the truth of the Gospel and they were saved!
What a great testimony these people had for the cause of Christ, and even for an example to you and me to follow after some two thousand plus years later in our day!
