Let’s talk about sexuality.

1 Thessalonians was written to the church at Thessalonica. Paul writes to encourage them because he’s pleased with how they have sought to follow God. Instead of telling them that since they are now mature they should move on to some new and difficult teaching, he tells them that the best way to please God is to consistently do what they did when Paul first taught them. Keep placing faith in Jesus. Keep learning and following his commands. And keep turning away from sin. This is how God makes us holy.
1 Thessalonians 4:1–8

[1] Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. [2] For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. [3] For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; [4] that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, [5] not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; [6] that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. [7] For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. [8] Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. (ESV)
