You Are The Message

1 Thessalonians 1:8 (NIV)
⁸ The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,

1 Thessalonians 1:8 (MSG)
⁸ The word has gotten around. Your lives are echoing the Master's Word, not only in the provinces but all over the place. The news of your faith in God is out. We don't even have to say anything anymore—you're the message!

1 Thessalonians 1:8 (NKJV)
⁸ For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.

How we live makes a difference! Our actions speak loudly of whom we are and what we believe. It is humbling, if not a matter of dismay, to think that others may be judging what it means to be a follower of Jesus by what they see us doing or not doing. Something is being said! What is it in your life?

Let us speak the right message in word and deed.
