Listen "1 Thessalonians 5:16-18"

Episode Synopsis

“Now, let me begin by giving praise to God, that his expressed will, the
moral requirements to which he calls his people, is as wonderful as
rejoicing, thanksgiving, and intimate communication, trusting in the
goodness of God towards us in both plan and action. These are commands
which reflect the amazing position of grace in which God has placed us
through the finished work of Christ Jesus. It is like if someone rich and
powerful gave you a credit card with no limit, on the one condition that
you enjoy yourself and call on them if you run into any trouble. And that
extreme example doesn’t even begin to compare to the joyous position we
have in Christ. What God commands is always aligned with your greatest joy
and fulfillment, and all of what God forbids is of letting ourselves be
sidetracked by seeking contentment in lesser joys.”
