MEMORY VERSE: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” – 3 John 2 (KJV)

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23 (KJV)

21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Some Christians have grown with the idea that it is better to focus on spiritual life than anything else in this world since it is the soul that journeys to eternity. This belief has made them concentrate more on spirituality at the expense of other functional aspects of their lives.

However, the scripture makes it clear that we should live a balanced life (3 John 2). In this lesson, we shall consider some of the areas believers need to create a balance and the attendant benefits.

LESSON AIM: To teach the church about a wholesome Christian life.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through the lesson, students should be able to:

  • Understand what a wholesome Christian life is.
