START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:10
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
HOW HOLY RIGHTEOUS AND BLAMELESS WE WERE / 1 THESSALONIANS 2:10
Paul does not accept the misguided view of some Christians who believe that the sin-covering sacrifice of Christ is sufficient for us to receive forgiveness but not sufficient enough to totally free us from the continued control of sin. This unbiblical teaching encouraged believers to accept sin as a natural part and an acceptable influence in the Christian life. Paul pleaded for them to look at his own life as an example that this is not true.
- He begs them to remember his own conduct among the Thessalonians; he was “holy, righteous and blameless.” In other words, he showed complete moral purity and spiritual integrity. He did what was right and behaved in such a way that no one could justly accuse him of wrongdoing.
- Paul called both the church and God Himself as witnesses that God’s grace (His unearned favor, love and spiritual enablement) provided enough motivation and power to purify himself “from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God” (2 Corinthians 1:12; 2:17; 6:3-10; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Timothy 1:3). This does not mean that Christians will never sin, but they do not have to sin; God’s power is always sufficient for us to overcome and remain free from sin if we rely on Him and follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
