Silvanus served with Paul and was a friend of Paul. Silvanusmay have been an encouragement to Paul may have been an aid to Paul and anadvisor to Paul; the Lord will put someone like this in our life. Peter considershim a friend as well but it more know by Paul as Silas, it is accepted thatthey are the same person. Silas was a preacher, a missionary, and also a writerco wrote 1 and 2 Thess. Encouragement or exhortation is important because theworld is going to drag us down and our flesh will often times not want to dowhat God wants of us. Only by grace can we stand before God by the grace givenby Christ’s death on the cross. The love of Christ has is key to the gospel.
