Our Actions.


Actions-

Know them which work among us for the Lord, those who may have more knowledge and understanding than we do ourselves. Think highly of them with the Love of God. Know that if you are admonished by them it's with good reason, for your growth in Christ.

Knowing, thinking, loving.

'And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.'

Actions:

Warn those who are upsetting.
Comfort those with feebleminds.
Support the weak.
Be Patient toward everyone.

Do NOT give evil for evil to ANYONE.

Follow good with each other and ALL.

'Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.  See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. '

Actions:

Rejoice always!
Pray without stopping!
Give thanks!

God wants us to do these things.

'Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.  In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. '

Actions:

Do not hinder the Holy Spirit.
Do NOT despise prophecies.

'Quench not the Spirit.  Despise not prophesyings.' 

Actions:

Prove ALL things.
Hold onto the good things.

'Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.' 

Actions:

Do not appear evil.

'Abstain from all appearance of evil.' 

IF we are using our actions for these things that we are admonished to use our actions for…. THEN…

'And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.  Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.  I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.'

1Thess. 5:12-28
