Part 4 What Might Cause Faith Collapse?

Before Timothy reported on his hurried return to the church at Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul was very concerned about the new converts there. He had been with them for only three or four weeks, many converted, but then he was compelled to leave town. He is concerned about their faith persisting. He is concerned that the impact of religious persecution and Satanic temptation might collapse their faith. Timothy's report brings Paul great joy; their faith and love has persisted and developed!
