1 Thessalonians 1:3

For we remember. Remembering these good things was a habit. How you put your faith into practice. Faith itself is a good work (John 6:29). How your love made you work so hard. This implies working hard at material things in order to be able to help others (compare Ephesians 4:28; Galatians 6:1-10). And how your hope. "Hope" in the Bible, is "something we expect to see take place." Hope is important, since we act on the basis of what we do believe (compare Romans 2:7).
