"Are You the Real Deal?" 3We always
thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4because
we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the
saints— 5the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you
in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel
6that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and
growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and
understood God's grace in all its truth. 7You learned it from Epaphras, our dear
fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, 8and who
also told us of your love in the Spirit.
- Have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ? (3-4a)
- Do you love other Christians? (4b)
- Do you have hope for the future? (5)
- Are you bearing fruit? (6b)
- Do you understand grace? (6b-8)
