The verse that best summarizes this chapter is 1 Thessalonians 4:7, For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. As a reflection of God, we must strive to be pure. Not because God requires it from us to be saved, but because it is right and good for us. Acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice is the only requirement for salvation, but God wants purity in our lives because He wants what is best for us. While some may see purity as prison, it is in fact freedom.
