Monday: God’s Will: Holiness (1 Thess. 4:3) — 4 Comments

  1. We should all bear in mind that our body is the
    temple of God so we shouldn't do anything that is
    gona deter God from dwelling in it.

  2. This week's lesson is actually a challenge to many Christians. The aspect of life Paul brings out- sexaulity, brings down many. We need to stay focused and strong in the Lord to be overcomers. This vice is one of the powerful tools the devil snares many, it brings self_conceitedness, weapon used to lure many in varied ambitions. But as the apostle says, if used in the correct context, thre are many blessings it brings along with it than misery associted with it if used for selfish motives. Holiness permeates all bounderies of life. Sexuality is, just but one of the componets. We need indeed to be holy before our God, Live lives that are acceptable and pleasing in His sight. When we accept Christ as our personal saviour, we renounce our old ways of life and accept a new found life in Christ, thus our conduct, behavour, tastes, characters, theories, etc about our past life are forgotten. We assume a new phase of life. We must remember that when Christ shall come to get His own, only those who will be found putting on His Righteousness (Holiness) will be saved. Let's strive with all power given us to live a life worthy of our calling---Chritians--Christ-lLike. May the Lord give us power that we may continue to grow more and more until we raech His Character. Caution! Mind you the devil won't calmly standby, watch you do that without interruptions. At that point we must remember that we draw nourishment from the Main Vain (Phil 4:3).

  3. This lesson is one that I believe we should be teaching from the pulpit on a regular basis.

    Paul is saying in this lesson that the life of a Chritian is not law-free. He reminds us that Jesus intends for us to live a life of obedience to the Moral Laws. Jesus himself speaks to adultery with great care to emphasize how much he hates that particular sin.

    Paul is very specific about the meaning of holiness in this lesson and it is abstinence from all forms of sexual immorality from pornography to prostitution. He does not exclude sex before marraige or sex outside of the martial relationship.

  4. I believe that the time has come for us as Christians to lead by example in terms of chastity and purity. Let us be ambassadors of the light encouraging those we meet not to abuse this gift of sexuality but use it in marriage as the Lord intended.
