Part 1
If we truly believe, and are converted; We are to be holy because the Lord our God is holy. We are to love one another as God loves us. We love with the love of God that He perfects in us. We do not with the love and standards of the world—the world does not have a clue what true love is. We do not live by the world’s standards of love nor anything else of the world.
God’s love is obeying Him. We must surrender our will to His will—obey Him. His love in us is shown by our keeping His Ten Commandment law: His law of love, His law of liberty, His moral law.
Sanctification does not take a lifetime. We are for the remainder of our lives be sanctified by God. He is the only true God—it is God who sanctifies us. Period. HalleluYah.
”Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.“
1 Peter 1:13-25 KJV
