We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Paul states that the gospel comes to us in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction and that this fills us with the joy of the Holy Spirit so that we can serve as an example to others of the transforming power of the mercy and grace of our Lord. Let me live that out each day where ever You place me.
