1thess 4 -- The Lord Will Come Down With The Trumpet Call Of God.

1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. To be sanctified is to be made Holy. We need to be sanctified to walk and live with our God. The Bible teaches us how to live. Ignore those in the world who tell you to get rid of the Bible, ignore those who tell you the Bible is out of date. If you want to live with the Lord you need to be sanctified and that means there is a way to live. A knee jerk reaction is to become a monk, or a nun. The way to live is by rejoicing in the Lord every day. Calling on His name, pray reading His word, singing hymns, and psalms and spiritual songs. Setting the mind on the Spirit and putting to death the desires of the flesh.
