Abstain from Sexual Immorality, 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

God’s will for your sanctification requires that you abstain from sexual immorality, possess your body in honor, and live holy before God.We are living in a hyper-sexualized culture. It seems sexual perversion and sexual immorality are everywhere.However, though the world may be full of sexual immorality, the command of God and the evidence of salvation is that Christians must abstain from sexual immorality. How, then, can you live sexually pure in a sexually perverse world? This passage teaches three requirements that you must do to live a life holy before God.You must be saved. (1-3a) You must be self-controlled. (3b-6) You must be submissive before God.
