Passages:
-------------------
People often question the motives of those who serve God; but Paul reminds the believers at Thessalonica that true ministry isn’t built on personality or gain, but on the truth of God’s Word. When accusations arose, he pointed them back to what they already knew: the gospel had changed their lives.
Paul’s example shows that sincere ministry comes from a pure motive and a right aim: pleasing God, not people. The message wasn’t softened to avoid offense or shaped to win approval; it was given in truth and love. In a world filled with mixed motives, this passage calls you to examine your own: are you serving the Lord with sincerity and truth?
