Holiness of God

1 John 3:2-3

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.

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.

1 Peter 1:13-16 

13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 

14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 

15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 

16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:11 

Trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
