Avoid Vanity - 1Ts 2:1-16 - Adam L.

In your own life, whenever possible, seek out first-hand experience of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the truths of Scripture.

This gospel is the good news that though each of us have failed to be perfect enough to be friends with God.

We need to confess sin to each other so we can stay humble.

Don’t lie to people to protect yourself from rejection and don’t lie to people to try to get money or glory. Instead, boldly tell people the truth.

You can’t fight fire with fire. You can’t fight sin with sin. Jesus commanded us to abide in him so that we can bear much fruit.

By becoming the friend of God, you become the friend of humanity.
