1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Seduce Proofing Our Lives

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."

The spirit, soul, and body refer to the entire being of a person. This expression is Paul's way of saying that God must be involved in every aspect of life. It is wrong to think that we can separate the spiritual life from everything else, obeying God only in some ethereal sense or living for him only one day each week. Christ must control all of us, not just a "religious" part.

Christians cannot avoid every kind of evil because we live in a sinful world. We can, however, make sure that we don't give evil a foothold by avoiding tempting situations and concentrating on obeying God.

Take time and read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-25. Some ideas of how to be a seduce-proofed believer. They are: 1.be happy in your faith; 2.abstain from evil; 3.pray without ceasing; 4.give thanks in everything; and 5.don't quench the spirit. Take time, now, and look again at these five things. Write them down, strongest to weakest, now write a plan of action of how to make the weakest as strong as the strongest. A good first step is the word of God, commonly referred to as the BIBLE.

My wish for you today is that you will be happy, giving thanks in everything, walking in the spirit and avoiding evil while praying unceasingly. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
