Signal Fire - 1 Thessaloniansნიმუში

Paul warns: “The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins… For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.” It’s a sobering reminder that our choices have weight. When we take advantage of others or step outside God’s design, it doesn’t just hurt us—it hurts people made in His image. Sin always leaves a ripple.

But Paul doesn’t stop with a warning—he calls us back to our identity. God has called us to holiness. And rejecting that isn’t just rejecting human teaching, Paul says—it’s pushing away God Himself, who gave us His Spirit. That shifts it from rule-following to relationship. Holiness isn’t just about what we avoid—it’s about who we belong to.

Pay attention to how your choices impact others. Choose today to live in a way that reflects the Spirit living in you, not just avoiding sin but pursuing holiness.
