Paul said that the Thessalonian Christians had been taught, and were still being taught, by God to love one another as the family of God. But how was God teaching them to love one another, and how does it continue to happen in the church today? What methods does He use, and are we listening to the lessons God is teaching? This is important because love for God and one another is at the very heart of the Christian faith. In fact, if we cannot love God and love one another, then we cannot be a follower of Jesus.
