—1 Thessalonians 4:1-7
by: Gabrielle Osborn.
Sexual immorality is constantly glorified throughout the media: movies and TV shows often contain sexually explicit scenes; you can access pornography with the click of a button; and people are encouraged to show off their bodies to prove their “self-love” and “confidence.” This is not the life that God has called us to lead. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 commands us to be different from the world we are living in. We are called to a higher standard than those around us who do not know God. Our bodies are holy temples for the Lord, and for this reason, we must resist the temptations around us and control our bodies and our desires.
