The book of 1 Thessalonians begins with Paul’s missionary journey to the city of Thessalonica. The verses that follow highlight the faith of the people of that city, as well as the great personal enemies that they are facing. In particular, the verses describe how Satan is a strong and powerful adversary. While he is a formidable adversary, the Thessalonians show no signs of surrendering to him. Instead, they continue to trust in their Lord and Savior, and they share the gospel with others.
