In, his letter to the believers at Thessalonia, Paul was using a differ ent method as he was confronted with a different situation. The church folk there had accepted hisrdtrines 'nd welcomed Christ's promises but were giving little heed to Christian respon sibilities r and .duties, Therefore, r it ' was necessary or Paul to 'go into de tail as to what. :they; should do as Christians.
