SUNDAY 15TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2024
LESSON THREE (03)
TOPIC: THE SANCTIFIER: GOD

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7.
[3]For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
[4]That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
[5]Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
[6]That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
[7]For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

LESSON AIM: To enable teenagers know God’s role in Sanctification.

CENTRAL TRUTH: God has a role to play in our Sanctification.

INTRODUCTION: The concept of sanctification refers to the process of being made holy or set apart for God’s purposes. This concept emphasizes God’s role in sanctifying believers. It acknowledges that sanctification is ultimately a work of God, through the Holy Spirit, who transforms believers into the likeness of Christ and empowers them to live holy lives. This concept emphasizes the ongoing process of spiritual growth and transformation in the lives of believers.
