"A Guide to Holiness"

1. Our walk _should be a priority_

1 Thessalonians 4:1–2 ESV

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

2. Our guide _must be God_

1 Thessalonians 4:3–7 ESV

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.

Avoid impurity

Respect others

Assume responsibility

3. Our approval _should come from God_

1 Thessalonians 4:8 ESV

Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
