我們當中,各有不同處遇,或好或壞,不過我們要感恩,因為如今常存的有信、有望、有愛,相信「亂」當中隱藏機會和希望。帖撒羅尼迦前書,會得到鼓勵。
帖撒羅尼迦教會是保羅第二次旅行佈道,聽見「馬其頓的呼聲」,他順從聖靈的引導進入歐洲,首先到腓立比,到了帖撒羅尼迦城以後,就進入猶太人的會堂,一連三個安息日,本著聖經講解耶穌基督受害死裏復活,結果有些猶太人附從保羅他們,也有許多敬虔的希臘人和尊貴婦女歸主。這樣卻引起那些不信主的猶太人嫉妒,鼓動一些市井匪類去抓保羅和西拉,信主的耶孫和幾個弟兄就被捉到官府,就在危急之時,信徒當夜將保羅他們送到庇哩亞去;後來保羅輾轉到哥林多,這段期間他完成帖撒羅尼迦前書、後書。
保羅看到昔日他所建立的帖撒羅尼迦教會,很多信徒落在苦難中,他們的信仰模糊,對得救真理沒有確據,對主再來的事不大明白;對主的愛有懷疑,所以保羅認為自己有責任,就特地寫信給這些「被神所愛的弟兄」,安慰堅固
