1 Thessalonians 4:1-2
1 Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

God gives the increase in our spiritual growth towards conformity to Christ as we trust and obey, following by yielding to His will and work. Therefore we are here further challenged and urged onward in Christ our Lord to overflow in these things as we are taught. This means we learn how to live out our walk with Him from His Word, Spirit, and those He has entrusted with these to teach us. We are ultimately to do all things to please God. This is what should motivate us to obey the commands given to us from Him by all means to us, the desire to love in return by faithfulness and obedience, as good servants doing what we simply ought to do (Luke 17:10).
