there you have it

1 Thessalonians 4:1b ...live in a way that pleases God...


There you have it.

And what would a way to live that pleases God?


Matthew 22:37 Jesus said, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

(btw, it's also recorded in Luke 10 & Mark 12. Jesus was quoting Deuteronomy 6:5)



If we're motivated by love, our lives will become more & more in line with what Our Lord wishes us to be, & it will spill over into our relationships with each other.


Too simple? Maybe... but try livin' it! ;-)
