Title: Living For Him

Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12

Primary Idea: Holiness (living for Him) is how we are to live in order to please God.

ü        Holiness concerning sexual purity.

ü        Holiness concerning all other areas of life as well.

ü        Holiness because God is holy and we have been created in His image. To be holy is to be what God intended from the start.

Closing thought will have something to do with the fact that most of us feel as if God doesn’t like us because we see our own un-holiness easily. We believe He loves us, but struggle to accept the fact that He likes us. But, God delights in His people and the blood of Jesus continually cleanses us of all sin while we walk in the light.

Psalm 147 10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,

nor his delight in the legs of a man;

11 the LORD delights in those who fear him,

who put their hope in his unfailing love.
