About This Video
In their reading of 1 Thessalonians 4, Delaney and Shawn explore Paul’s instructions on sanctification, purity, and love. They discuss how justification (being made right with God through Christ’s atonement) applies to everyone today, while sanctification (becoming holy) now comes through faith and spiritual maturity rather than religious works. They contrast how these ideas applied to the early church bride and how they apply differently in a post-fulfillment world. The conversation touches on sexual ethics, legalismRule-based religion is over. Faith and love—not law—define life with God now., heart over behavior, and why Christian expectations often get things backwards—expecting people to clean up before understanding they’re already covered.
