1 Thessalonians 4:3–4 — It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable.
Explanation: God’s will is not hidden—it is holiness. Purity is not optional but commanded. Self-control is Spirit-control in action. To live holy and honorable is to align our bodies with God’s purpose and glorify Him in our daily choices.
Purity is God’s will for His people.
Self-control honors God’s Spirit.
Sanctification is daily surrender.
Poem — “Holy and Honorable”
God’s will is holiness for His people.
Bodies are not toys but temples.
Purity guards what Christ has bought.
Self-control honors His Spirit.
Obedience glorifies His name.
The world mocks restraint.
Desire is celebrated without limits.
But the believer lives differently.
Holiness shines brighter than indulgence.
Purity speaks of God’s ownership.
The Spirit teaches us to say no.
The cross assures us when we fail.
The Word trains us for righteousness.
The church strengthens the weak.
The Father delights in holy children.
Prayer: Lord, I surrender my body to You. Sanctify me in truth and keep me from corruption. Give me strength to walk in purity.
Father, let my life be holy and honorable. May my obedience bring You glory and display Christ to the world. Amen.
