A Christian life is about the three things that remain; Faith, Hope and Love.
The Past in a Christian’s life is about turning to God (1 Thessalonians 1:9), which is an EVIDENCE of FAITH. The Present in a Christian’s life is about serving the living and true God (1 Thessalonians 1:9), which is an EXPRESSION of LOVE. The Future for a Christian’s life is to wait for Jesus, God’s Son from heaven to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10), which is the EXPECTATION of HOPE.
Points to ponder:
And of the three that remain; faith, hope and love; the greatest of these is Love i.e., the greatest commandment was to Love the LORD; to express our Love for Him. How can we express our love? We can do so by serving the living and true God. How are you/I expressing our Love? Are/Am you/I serving Him, as we await His return having been saved by grace through faith?
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 (KJV)
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
