Evidence of Sanctification
Evidence of Sanctification
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.
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.
Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,
for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more,
and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
It’s not enough to SAY you are SANCTIFIED.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
Desire for Worship
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Life of Purity
Life of Purity
How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
