1 Thessalonians 2:13–16 (Listen)

13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. 14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind 16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!

Eleanor’s story

“I couldn't believe that I’d gone to chapel all my life but I wasn't a Christian”

I was asked, ‘Do you believe in Jesus?’ and I said ‘Of course, I do!’ because I did – after all, I had been to church all my life. The problem was I believed in a Jesus that I didn't really know. But over time I accepted what the Bible was saying so I confessed to God that I was a sinner and came to know that there was no hope without him. And the older I get the more I realise how totally undeserving I am of all that God has done for me. That is what it’s all about — all I had was religion but it’s not about religion, it’s about really knowing God.
