Be joyful always

1 Thessalonians 5: 12-28
Respect those who work hard, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.Hold them in the highest regard in live because of their work.
Warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.
Do not put out the Spirit's fire. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.
Blessing:
Paul;s prayer is comprehensive: for the whole person in every aspect (spirit, soul, body)
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 grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Why?
Time or space is running out. Bur Paul manages to pack 17 practical and characteristic commands into these few verses.
the apostle, who never ceases to ray for his readers, know how much he needs their prayers.
Be joyful always; pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances are I needed in my living situation. One more thing is test everything, do not believe it without test. For our Lord is mighty God, nothing difficult to Him, if I believed in Him I should joyful always. Let people knows that I am a joyful Christians because the Lord loves me.
Everything, everyone living instructions are in the teaching of Paul.
How?
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstance
