“For God has not called us to impurity but to live in holiness. Consequently, anyone who rejects this does notreject man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.” -1 Thessalonians 4:7–8 CSB

Acknowledge God’s will for your life: Your Sanctification

“For this is God’s will, your sanctification….” -1 Thessalonians 4:3 CSB

Humble Yourself

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.” -Philippians 2:3–4 CSB

Fix the motivation

“…we make it our aim to be pleasing to him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” -2 Corinthians 5:9-10 CSB

“For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion, that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.” -2 Corinthians 5:14-15 CSB

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, ‘Be reconciled to God.’ He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” -2 Corinthians 5:20-21 CSB

Encourage each other

“And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.” -Hebrews 10:24–25 CSB
