Living Transformed: Embracing Sexual Purity
In today's message, we dive into the call to live a life pleasing to God, exploring the deeper meaning of sanctification and its impact on every area of our lives including our sexuality. As we walk in Christ's light, He empowers us to overcome sin and discover the true joy of living in His love. Join us as we explore 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8.
Key Takeaways:
#1: Sanctification is God’s will for our lives.
Sanctification is not an optional add-on to the Christian life. It is God’s desire that we should become like Christ.
#2: We are to progress in our sanctification.
We are to walk in holiness more and more throughout our lives seeking to always progress in Christlikeness.
#3: Sexual purity is a key aspect of holy living.
God has ordained sex to be between one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage. We are not to act on lustful temptation in any form, but instead must learn to control our bodies.
