1 Thessalonians 1

Paul starts off his letter to the Thessalonians by reminding them that the message they received was not just mere words, but the power and conviction of the Holy Spirit. They were changed and made into imitators of the Lord, proclaiming the message they had been given.

This is the proof that we have received the true gospel of Christ: that we are changed and become more like God. The Holy Spirit gives us power to live a life that is pleasing to God and tell others about the changes in our lives so they can experience the same.
