1 Thessalonians 5 - Children of the Light

In Christ, who are we?

"You are all sons (and daughters) of the light and sons (and daughters) of the day.  We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.  So then....let us be alert and self-controlled." (v. 5-6)

Why did Jesus come and die?

"He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him." (v. 10)

How are we to live -- what is God's will for us?

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (v. 16-18)

Any final words?

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." (v. 23, 28)
