In today’s daily word, we receive the lesson on how to live a life that pleases God. One of the most important ways we can do this is by living a holy life and staying away from sexual sin. As believers we must have self control in every area of our lives. This is an area in which many Christians have a hard time with.
The Bible tells us to flee from sexual sins. In verse 6 of 1 Thessalonians 4, it says “Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before.”When we fall into sexual sin, we not only hurt ourselves, but the person in which we engage in sex with. Sexual sin is both Fornication (sex with anyone outside of God’s covenant of marriage) as well as Adultery (sex inside of marriage with anyone outside of God’s marriage covenant).
In the times we are living in, we find more and more people claiming to be followers of Christ who embrace fornication, adultery and homosexuality as a way of living for themselves as well as others. There are also many Christians who are saved and love the Lord but must receive deliverance in the area of The Spirit of Whoredoms.
Their spirit is strong, but their flesh is weak and until they are delivered from this spirit, they will continue to fall into this temptation. When we live a life that pleases God, we will seek deliverance in the areas of our lives that do not represent holiness. I pray this word today will encourage you to seek holiness and deliverance so that we may draw unbelievers to Christ by example of our living.
Brothers and sisters, now I have some other things to tell you. We taught you how to live in a way that will please God. And you are living that way. Now we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live that way more and more. You know all that we told you to do by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
God wants you to be holy. He wants you to stay away from sexual sins. God wants each one of you to learn to control your own body. Use your body in a way that is holy and that gives honor to God. Don’t let your sexual desires control you like the people who don’t know God. Never wrong any of your fellow believers or cheat them in this way. The Lord will punish those who do that. We have already told you this and warned you about it.
God chose us to be holy. He does not want us to live in sin. So anyone who refuses to obey this teaching is refusing to obey God, not us. And God is the one who gives you his Holy Spirit. We don’t need to write to you about having love for your brothers and sisters in Christ. God has already taught you to love each other.
In fact, you love all the believers in Macedonia. We encourage you now, brothers and sisters, to show your love more and more. Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Mind your own business, and earn your own living, as we told you before. If you do these things, then those who are not believers will respect the way you live. And you will not have to depend on others for what you need.
The Lord’s Coming
Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those who have died. We don’t want you to be sad like other people—those who have no hope.
We believe that Jesus died, but we also believe that he rose again. So we believe that God will raise to life through Jesus any who have died and bring them together with him when he comes. What we tell you now is the Lord’s own message. Those of us who are still living when the Lord comes again will join him, but not before those who have already died.
The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And the people who have died and were in Christ will rise first. After that we who are still alive at that time will be gathered up with those who have died. We will be taken up in the clouds and meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with the Lord forever.
So encourage each other with these words.
