God’s Finished Work
In His People
1 Thessalonians 5:23-28
November 29, 2020
The Big Idea:
Paul closes his letter with a prayer for their complete
transformation into Christlikeness, assuring them (and us) that the only
one who can change the human heart is the God who made it.
The final
verses remind us that it is in the relationships the Lord gives us in His
Church that we will most fully experience the changes God wants to
make in us.
1 Thessalonians 5 (ESV)
23
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and
may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 He who calls you is faithful; he will
surely do it.
1.
The Only One Who Can Change You: The God of
Peace
Romans 5:1
§ Peace within myself can only be experienced when “the God of
Peace” ceases to fight against me.
§ There is no peace without justification.
o Romans 3:23-25
o Justification is a legal status that can be declared only by
the Judge (God).
It is instantaneous and external and
complete.
2. The End Result of God’s Work in You: Complete
Sanctification
“sanctify you completely,”
§
§
§
We must first be justified by God before we can be sanctified.
Sanctification is the internal work of God.
It is a lifelong process.
Sanctification is both a gift and a goal.
Something which God
does through Grace and a commitment of our lives that we must
choose.
§
John Owen: “It is the universal renovation of our natures by the
Holy Spirit.”
3. The Scope of God’s Work: Nothing is Untouched by His
Hand
“your whole spirit and soul and body”
§
§
Sanctification is God’s work to make me become what He already
declared me to be!
Nothing is to be held back – nothing reserved from being touched by
Christ’s transforming grace.
4. The End of God’s Work: Christ Presenting You
“Blameless” to the Father
“be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Hebrews 2:13 “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
Jude 23-24
5.
The Promise That Will Never Be Broken: The Father Will
Complete His Work in You
24
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
Philippians 1:6
2 Timothy 2:13
6.
The Setting Where The Father Does His Best Work: His
Church
25

26 Greet all the brothers with a holy
kiss.
27 I put you under oath before the Lord to have this
letter read to all the brothers.
