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! ;-)
