1 Thes 5:16-24 REJOICE always, PRAY continually, GIVE THANKS in all circumstances; for this is GOD'S WILL for you in Christ Jesus. DO NOT QUENCH THE SPIRIT. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but TEST them all; HOLD on to what is good, REJECT every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, SANCTIFY you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be KEPT BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is FAITHFUL, and he will do it.
Don't you want to do God's will for your life? have you ever wondered what it is? well, this makes it pretty clear. To rejoice always in Christ Jesus, pray continually in Christ Jesus and give thanks in all circumstances in Christ Jesus. What's more? to not quench the Spirit of God which spurs us in following His will. It is also God's will for us that we will test all prophecies, and to not treat them with contempt. God wants us to hold onto all that is good and reject EVERY kind of evil. This passage reminds us God is the God of peace and that it is HE who sanctifies us, sets us apart. With this peace we should be able to rejoice, pray and give thanks. It is also God's will that we be kept blameless, in everything, at the return of Jesus. This passage ends with God being the One who calls us and reminds us that He is faithful and will do it! That is, He will have His will be done; He will, by being the God of peace, allow us to rejoice, pray and give thanks! He will keep the Spirit burning in us and help us to test everything, clinging to the good and fleeing all evil. God sets us apart and sees us as blameless as He covers us with the blood of Jesus Christ.
