1 Thessalonians 3: The Lack of Faith

Paul sends Timothy to the Thessalonians because he felt that there were problems there. After spending some time there finds that the Thessalonians were strong with Faith. Timothy brings back an encouraging report, and Paul rejoices. Paul prays that he may meet them and perfect what is still lacking in their faith. He urges the Saints in Thessalonians (the members) to “…increase and abound in love one towards another, and toward all men…” (1 Thessalonians 3:12)
