In this session, Dr. Randy White of Taos, NM unpacks 1 Thessalonians 4:1–8, where Paul shifts from encouragement to direct exhortation. The emphasis is clear: believers are to “walk and to please God,” not by discovering a new path, but by continuing in the instructions already received through Paul’s apostolic teaching. These aren’t suggestions, but the revealed commandments of the risen Christ, passed on for the Body of Christ.
Dr. White highlights that God’s will is explicitly tied to sanctification—a life set apart, marked by purity and honor. Paul applies this directly to sexual integrity, contrasting the holy use of one’s body with the indulgent, lust-driven culture of the Gentiles. He warns against crossing boundaries or defrauding others, reminding the church that the Lord Himself avenges such sin, even under grace.
Holiness, Dr. White explains, is not about Israel’s covenant identity but about God’s calling and expectation for the believer’s daily walk. To reject this call is not rejecting Paul as a man, but despising God who has given His Holy Spirit to empower sanctification. This passage challenges believers to abound in holiness, honor, and Spirit-led living, demonstrating that grace does not lower God’s standards but raises our calling to walk in purity before Him.
