Live In Order To Please God

1 Thessalonians 4

Live In Order To Please GodLive in order to please God. 1 Thessalonians 4:1

It is God’s will that you should be sanctified – transformed into the image of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Avoid sexual immorality. Learn to control your own body. Learn to live with your own wife. Learn to acquire a wife. Do not live in passionate lust like the heathen who do not know God. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-6

He who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God who gives you his Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:8

Do not be dependent on anybody. 1 Thessalonians 4:12

 

In the natural realm, if a person does not hit back, it is because he is a coward. But in the spiritual realm, it is the very evidence of the Son of God in him if he does not hit back.

A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.

Every time I insist on having my own rights, I hurt the Son of God.

A disciple realizes that it is his Lord’s honor that is at stake in his life, not his own honor.

Never look for righteousness in the other person, but never cease to be righteous yourself.

Never look for justice; never cease to give it.
