1 Thessalonians 2:4 - Praise from people

On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.

In these and the surrounding verses Paul is talking about how the gospel was shared with the people of Thessalonica. It is a good guide for how to share Christ. My purpose in this blog is twofold: personal study and to share my study with others. On down the passage verse 6 states, "We are not looking for praise from people."

Lord, thank you for this opportunity to study your word. Please help me to not seek praise from people, but only work to please you. Amen.
