Paul begins his letter to the church of the Thessalonians with a unique opening. "Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:"
He said the church is in God the Father and The Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said that he would build his church and the gates of hell shall not overcome it (Matthew 16:18).
When you fear for your faith, remember who gave it to you and who sustains it (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 12:2). Call on him and he will answer you (Psalm 91).
