Thessalonians Live Lives of Faith, Hope and Love

Lewis: The church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy,. missions, sermons, even the Bible itself are simply a waste of time," Lewis says. "What is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?" Paul's whole vision is their spiritual maturity.
