1 We are saved , 2 we are being saved , 3 we will be saved and have a new body when Jesus returns.
Every Christian becomes holy when they first put their faith in Christ, it’s at this time that the Holy Spirit takes up residence in their human spirit. Being made holy is a process (sanctification) of living the Christian life, it is the work of the Holy Spirit step by step to conform us to the image of Christ 4:3
Every new Christian should be warned about what to avoid. and how to resist the devil. Being called into the Christian ministry though does not mean we are called to avoid and resist work!
Paul was an effective witness for Jesus Christ, this did not mean that he had no time for manual work. Paul was a tent maker respected by believers and unbelievers alike. I feel sure that his “trade” gave him many opportunities to preach the gospel 4:11-12.
memory verse
This should be you ambition : to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we commanded you before. I Thessalonians 4:11 N.L.T.
