1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
One of the most pressing questions we have as followers of Jesus is this: How can we live to please God? Two weeks ago we considered the challenge of holiness – God is pleased when we embrace his will and acknowledge that every area of our lives rightly belongs to him. And as we shall see this week, God is pleased when we love one another, especially in practical ways that even earn the respect of outsiders.
