Paul's Letters to the Thessalonians_06 - Exhortation: Sanctification

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 -- As Paul transitions to offer a series of exhortations to the Thessalonian brethren, he begins by addressing the importance of sanctification. This would have been a difficult and challenging moral standard to abide by as a child of God, one that was totally countercultural. And so Paul will give some practical ways in which one can pursue sanctification and show how it relates to one's walk with the Lord.
