Sanctification | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

Apostle Paul is relieved to have heard from Timothy that the church in Thessalonica was standing firm in the faith. He encourages them to continue on the road to living in holiness. In the passage today he urges them to live in a way that pleases God, to avoid sexual immorality, and to control our bodily desires, especially in relation to our brothers and sisters in Christ. The passage ends with a warning that those who disregard the warning will face the avenger.
