Paul, Silas, Timothy were writing to the church of the Thessalonians by addressing that grace and peace unto them from God our Father and Jesus Christ. He greets the church and God. They say that they are thanking God always and mentioning them in their prayers. When Paul was in his second missionary journey, he founded the church in Thessalonians.
Paul was very happy that the Christians in Thessalonians were strong even though he left them. They appreciated the Thessalonians because of their works of faith and their patience and hope in the Lord and their labour of love. These three qualities are the main virtues of a Christian.
The Thessalonians became the followers by the gospel of Paul in today’s daily verse:
Then they are saying that their gospel was not only the word but also with power, holy ghost, and assurance. All of the men know about their gospel. The Thessalonians became the followers of Paul and also of the Lord. They have received the word in affliction with joy of the holy ghost.
The believers in Thessalonians became examples for the people of Macedonia and Achaia who believe in the Lord. Then Paul says that their faith will be spread not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also all through the world.

Lessons to learn from Paul to preach the gospel in daily bible scripture:
Paul was thanking God because the Achaia and Macedonia attract the Thessalonians and their faith works, and they turned themselves as believers. God loved them as chosen them. The gospel went viral throughout all the places, and Jesus Christ transformed the lives of everyone.
In 1 corinthians 7:17, Paul says that God has called them and what the Lord as assigned the work to each person to lead their life they should do. And states that this is the rule of every church. We need to ask God to assign the work and do it patiently. We need to tell the gospel to others boldly.
Paul even though he suffered a lot, he never left his goal. He fought to win the souls with the help of God, He was in prison for many years, but God has delivered him from all his sufferings. His only aim is to spread the gospel to others.
