In 1 Thessalonians 2:9-12, Paul paints a picture of faithful ministry through the heart of a loving father, one who labors selflessly, lives with integrity, and leads others spiritually. Paul’s example reminds us that faithful ministry isn’t about charisma or comfort, but about Christlike character, and that true gospel service will cost much, but is worth everything.
