While We Wait for Jesus
Are You the Real Deal?
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
- You know you are the real deal if you have experienced the power of the gospel (vs. 4-7, Romans 1:16, John 16:8–11)
- You know you are the real deal if you have turned from idols to serve the living and true God (vs. 9-10, Acts 20:21)
- You know you are the real deal if you can find evidence of transformation in your life (vs. 2-3)

- b)Their love motivated them to labor (1 John 4:20–21)
