1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. Note 8 at 1 Th. 1:5: Paul's ministry in Thessalonica was recorded in Acts 17:1-9. In that account, there isn't anything mentioned about Paul or any of the members of his company working miracles. But this verse makes it very clear that miracles did take place. This is very similar to what Paul said to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 4:20 (see note 4 at 1 Cor. 2:4 , p. 866). The supernatural power of the Holy Spirit confirmed the gospel Paul taught (see note 2 at Mk. 16:20 , p. 565). This is certainly one reason he made such a great impact in Thessalonica in such a short period of time. The preaching of the true gospel will be confirmed with signs and wonders through the power of the Holy Ghost.
