God's Word Is To Be Believed And Lived

1 Thessalonians 4:1-2

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. (NIVUK)

These verses are the beginning of two chapters of practical instructions as Paul explains the behaviour-patterns which please God. He covers intimate relationships (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8), relationships in the church (1 Thessalonians 4:9-10), in the workplace and community (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12), and personal lifestyle (1 Thessalonians 5:1-28). The context for this teaching is not the rigours and perils of persecution, but the anticipation of Jesus coming again – encouraging them to look ahead to be ready for an eternity with Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
