V3-06 Freedom and Self-Control
Walking Talking Bible Project
What does it mean to be holy? How do faith and the Word of God lead to a different way of life? What is the outcome of this way of life and how is it different? How do freedom and self-control work together? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week’s edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.

Connection Passage #2 1 Thessalonians 4:3–8
1 Thessalonians 4:3–8
3 For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;
4 each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
8 Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
Connection Passage #3: Galatians 5:13
Galatians 5:13
