​​​1003.

Sanctification and Love 
​​

1. 

Today's Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

​

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

14th strategy.
Instructions Given
  • Prepare your heart
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine God or Jesus handing these instructions.
  • Who are the instructions given to? a group, a nation, a particular person?
  • Why is He giving these instructions?
  • Is there a consequence from these instructions either good or bad?
  • Contemplate these instructions.
  • List them either mentally or write them down.
  • What do they mean? What do they represent? 
  • Are these instructions wise for anyone anytime to follow?
  • Would they help your own life, if applied?
  • Pray over what God has given.
  • Thank Him for His guidance either in the past, or presently.

1. Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the LORD Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. 
2. For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

3. God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.
4. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor --
5. not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
6. Never harm or cheat a Christian brother in this matter by violating his wife, for the LORD avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. 
7. God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.
8. Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

9. But we don't need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. 
10. Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more. 

11. Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.
12. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 NLT

—-
I remember when God showed this to me years ago.
•Live a quiet life
•Mind your own business
•Work with your hands

I’ve tried to live this life. I’m still desiring to obey him in this.
Use me as you see fit God. I’m continuing my quiet life.
