How to Please God
2 COMMANDS EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD OBEY
§
“Control your own body” (v.
4)
§
“Don’t cheat your brother (or sister)” (v. 6)
1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
October 4, 2020
The Big Idea:
Sometimes Paul wrote and rebuked Christians for
falling into one sin after another.
In this letter, he simply reminds them
that they are called to a life of holiness, which pleases God.
In ancient
and modern days, the Lord calls His people to a sexual ethic that is
distinct from the world, good for us, and honoring to God.
This life is
empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
3 TRUTHS GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW
ü The Lord will punish sexual sin.
(v. 6)
1 Thessalonians 4:1–8 (ESV)
4 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. 2 For you know what
instructions [military term – authoritative commands] we gave you
through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification :
that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know
how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion
of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 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.
7
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
8 Therefore
whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his
Holy Spirit to you.
ü Personal holiness was taught by men, recorded in the Bible, but
is rooted in the person of God.
(v.
7) – 1 Peter 1:16
ü To reject God’s teachings on personal holiness is to reject God
Himself (v.
8)
THE GOOD NEWS
è God “gives His Holy Spirit to you.” (v.
8)
You are not left to your own strength, wisdom, or motivation –
The Holy Spirit works for your sanctification.
Titus 2:11-14
promises the Christian that the grace God used to save you is
the same grace that will teach you to say “no” to ungodliness.
2 WORDS EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW
ü “sanctification”
ü “abstain”
We all have a past.
There is not one thing you can do
to factually change what has already happened.
But, in Christ, God offers you a different future.
To each of us
He says, you can “go and sin no more.”
