For God has not called us to impurity but to live in holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:7
The Greeks lived in a sexualized culture.
Immorality, prostitution, pornography,
Adultery, religious cult sex, homosexuality.
Following Christ meant living counter to that culture.
It meant living a life set apart
A sanctified life.
But they were also called to live holy lives,
Lives that adhere to God’s moral precepts.
Lives marked by righteousness.
We live in a sexualized culture as well.
God’s standards haven’t changed.
Neither has His calling.
It is not a call to a relative morality–
Moral compared to everyone else.
It is a call to an absolute standard.
Absolute commitment.
Absolutely sanctification.
Absolute holiness.
