Welcome to The Preached Word. Today, we turn to Paul's first written benediction, which we find in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, to uncover the glorious, sovereign work of God's grace. We'll clear away theological fog to understand how the God of peace himself sanctifies and preserves the whole believer, standing against the errors of sinless perfectionism and trichotomy, all by the faithfulness and perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.
