Good morning with a word for the day-
1 Thessalonians 4:3, ‘For this is the will of God...’
Many times we focus on the next few words Paul has written in verse 3, but if we do we miss the power of the concept Paul was trying to describe. Paul says we should want to live a quiet, holy, and clean lifestyle; and one which would not defraud the brethren. We should know how to control our bodies and live our lives in such a way that others can see and know that we are followers of Christ Jesus. Paul called this a life lived in sanctification and it’s one that pleases God. He says anyone who rejects this lifestyle rejects God, himself. Sanctification is a process and it will lead one to be ready for the return of Christ Jesus.
Sanctification results from a life lived by faith in Christ Jesus. It will prepare one to be called out of this world we live in.
1 Thessalonians 4:1-12
