The Book of 1 Thessalonians Wk 05: Theres No Hole in Holiness

The Book of 1 Thessalonians WK 05: There's no Hole in Holiness 1 Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. 2 For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 4 Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor-5 not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. 6 Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. 7 God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. 8 Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 (NLT) Holiness: 1. Works if you WORK IT. (vs 1-2) 2. Requires being DIFFERENT & GUARDED. (vs 3-5) 3. Affects the PURITY of others. (vs 6) 4. Requires OBEDIENCE to the Holy Spirit. (vs 7-8) One Last Thought: God's way of living always brings LIFE more ABUNDANTLY! (John 10:10)
