Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Thessalonians 1:7

"so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia." — 1 Thessalonians 1:7 (ASV)

My brothers and sisters, let us not only be Christians, but let us be samples of Christians. They are sure to pick out the best for a sample. Oh! that we might be such that, if God Himself were to select Christians to show what they are like, He might select us to be samples.
