Acts 17:1-18:17; 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2:16

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

The word of God works in people. Though humanly preached and humanly received, the word of God may be accepted as it actually is, the word of God. Paul the Apostle writes that he thanks God continually for this: The word of God received and accepted as the word of God--not a myth, nor a fairy tale, nor a speculation, nor a fiction, but a message of divine origin and holy purpose.

I am thankful for that, too!
