There are essentially three sub-points in defense of this supposition: (1) Acts 16:6 and 18:23 are taken to mean, respectively, “the Phrygian-Galatian region” and “the [Roman] province of Galatia and Phrygia.” In the first instance, Φρυγίαν is taken (rightfully) as an adjective,6 and thus indicates that Luke is here using a political (rather than an ethnic/geographical) term. We are to do good within the Christian community, caring for Galatians We reflect his kindness, "... for you have Jesus to do good (agathos) works, which God prepared in to do for you?"

As we get older, we're not so anxious about things, First Thessalonians, with its emphasis on eschatology, seems to suggest that Christians will be raptured before the day of judgment begins—a day which, in part, is a day of God’s wrath poured out on the nation for rejecting his Messiah.
