Holiness of God

1 John 4:2-3

2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 

3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

1 John 3:2-4

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 

3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

1 John 2:2 

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

2 Peter 3:10 

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

2 Peter 3:3-7

3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 

4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 

5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 

6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 

7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Think it over:

~ We can endure anything if we depend on God for everything.

~ To lead others out of the darkness of sin, let them see your light.

~ Spiritual gifts are meant to be used, not admired.

~ What we see of God’s provisions teaches us to trust Him for what we cannot see of His purposes.
