May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (v23)
God & Man in Concert, Working Towards Ultimate Goodness:
1. God’s Work — God’s calling, faithfulness and power sanctify us through the Holy Spirit’s action and movement. (v24)
2. Man’s Cooperation — Live watchfully a life of faith, love and hope, pursue goodness, rejoice always, pray unceasingly and give thanks in all circumstances; do not quench the Spirit, and finally, study the Scripture and verify the words of preachers. (v8/15-22)
