Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:11-4:8
Being called to holiness means that followers of Jesus are called to be set apart for God, separate from sin and evil. The basis for this calling is that God Himself is holy, and those who have been changed by Him are thus called to be the same. Holiness should describe and define how we live in every area of our lives. While it involves far more than how we behave sexually, how we behave sexually is a significant part of holiness. Though many in the Church would rather ignore or dismiss the topic of “sex,” the truth is that we do so to our own harm. Few things have hindered and hurt individual lives and the Church as a whole like that of compromise regarding God’s plan and purpose for sex. God has not left us without instruction, direction, and exhortations on how we can walk in holiness and glorify Him through our sexuality. We invite you to listen today to consider how you can honor God by walking in holiness.
