April 6th, Monday: 1 Thess 3 & 4

1 Thes 4
More and more should be the desire of the dedicated Christian.

More holiness.
Your body belongs to God and His will is that you use it for holy purposes.
Christ purchased your body and the Father has called you to holy living.
Disobey, and the penalties are great.

More love.
We're taught to love by the Father, and the Son, and the Spirit.
Love is the one outstanding and true mark of the true believer.
Love – our God is love.

More quietness.
Now, because they expected the Lord to return any day, some believers had quit their jobs and become idlers and meddlers.
What kind of testimony would this be to the lost?

More hope.
Christians sorrow because God made us to weep.
But it is not the hopeless sorrow of the world.
See – Jesus is coming again.
That means reunion and eternal rejoicing.
