Imagine what church life would look like if we all carried out the following on a consistent basis. Paul's expectation to the Thessalonian church was that they would. Let's do the same.
"Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you, and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints." I Thess. 3:11-13
"Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more." I Thess. 4:9-10
"Therefore encourage one another with these words." I Thess. 4:18
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." I Thess. 5:11
"See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone." I Thess. 5:15
"We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing." II Thess. 1:3
