Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)
These three good habits have been called the standing orders of the church. They represent the will of God in Christ Jesus for us.
The words in Christ Jesus remind us that He taught us these things during His earthly ministry and He was the living embodiment of what He taught.
By teaching and example, He revealed to us God’s will concerning joy, prayer, and thanksgiving.
