"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another" John 13:35. The church at Thessalonica had mastered loving one another. They were so committed to praying for one another, helping each other in times of tribulation and persecution, and persevering in the faith, that ALL of Macedonia had heard of their deep and abiding love for Christ and their brothers and sisters in faith. What does it mean to practically to love one another? Paul spells it out in I Thessalonians 4:9-12

True Biblical conversion is a gracious work of the Holy Spirit. When the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, the Holy Spirit is able to make dead sinners alive so that they willingly repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ. The result of such an act of grace is a converted man/woman. In this passage of scripture, Paul talks about the fruits of true conversion. This helps us distinguish true conversion from false conversion.
