Bible Note: Greetings Marquita, I do not post these words from a spirit of judgement, but from a spirit of restoration in peace and love, from the heart. It is good that you are studying the Word of God. I pray that the Spirit of Truth, opens your eyes to the understanding of these words. 1 Thess 4:1 Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. 2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. 8 So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you. If you truly have been born again, born of the Spirit, born from above, if the Spirit of Christ truly lives in you, He will not continue to allow you to live in this ungodly lifestyle. By whatever means, He chooses. If you are a part of His body, He will not allow you to continually dishonor Him with sexual immorality. I pray that God opens your heart of understanding and gives you His grace and strength to stop practicing sexual immorality. Joe |
