What does 1 Thessalonians 1:3 mean?

Paul remembered the Thessalonian believers as he prayed to God the Father. Jesus taught us to address God as "Father" (Luke 11:2). The name "Father" reflects God's love and care, and encourages us to trust Him. Paul remembered three supreme qualities his readers exhibited. They were faith, love, and hope, and are cited in 1 Corinthians 13:13 as enduring and highly commendable. The Christians at Thessalonica demonstrated faith that worked. It had resulted in repentance (see 1 Thessalonians 1:9). Their love for Jesus had caused them to toil for Him. Their hope in Christ's return had produced steadfast endurance of persecution.
