Welcome to the word of God online and the Living Bible Online
The Daily Living Challenge As A Christian
First Thessalonians 4 from the living bible
Let me add this, dear brothers: you already know how to please God in your daily living, for you know the commands we gave you from the Lord Jesus himself. Now we beg you – yes, we demand of you in the name of the Lord Jesus – that you live more and more closely to that ideal. For God wants you to be holy and pure, and to keep clear of all sexual sin so that each of you will marry and holiness and honor – not in lustful passion as the heathen do, in their ignorance of God and his ways.…
Verse nine
But concerning the pure brotherly love that there should be among God’s people, I do not need to say very much, I’m sure! For God himself is teaching you to love one another. Indeed, your love is already strong towards all the Christian Brothers throughout your whole nation. Even so, dear friends, we beg you to love them more and more. This should be your invention: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and doing your own work, just as we told you before.
As a result people who are not Christians will trust and respect you, and you will not need to depend on others for enough money to pay your bills.

As a Christian we are called to live in a different manner than the rest of the world. Today, there is no question, this presents a very challenging aspect to the Christian life. If we are to become more Christlike, and set an example to others, and we are to become more holy and pure, then there are things that you and I will need to do that will be very much different than those who are not walking and moving closer to Christ.
