Quite a few things stood out for me in this chapter. First, Paul, recognizes that their faith is active, your love is working hard, and your confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ is enduring.
This stood out to me because it is important in our daily Christian walk for us to have faith that is active, love and enduring confidence in Christ. Often times when things get difficult or not the way we planned our faith tends to waiver so this was a perfect reminder to always have not just faith but an active faith with love and confidence in Christ.
Lastly, Paul mentions in verse 9 "They even report how you turned away from false gods to serve the real, living God and to wait for his Son to come from heaven. His Son is Jesus, whom he brought back to life." Paul talks about their amazing conversion. This stood out to me because it was partly due to the witness of Paul, Silas and Timothy. We should strive to always be a witness in the spreading of the gospel not just in word but in deed as well.
