The Pursuit of Holiness: Preparing for the Lord’s Return

 "Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?" - 2 Peter 3:11

Those preparing for the coming of the Lord should be holy. The enemies of holiness are many, and the danger is great, so they must be watchful. Holiness is wonderful and desirable; therefore, sin must be hated. Holiness brings the greatest happiness, so it must be earnestly sought, and those who possess it are the happiest. Only God can grant holiness, so those who desire it must be prayerful. Holiness is possible, so they must be full of faith. Holiness is a precious gift, so they must be thankful.

He who bestows holiness is holy, so we should worship Him. There is never too much holiness, so we must pursue sanctification daily. The dwelling place of the saints is eternal, so we must seek it above all else.
