True Christians are Called to Be Holy

1Pe 1:13-25 “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;

1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: (NOT BEING UNHOLY WHICH YOU ONCE WERE)

1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so BE YE HOLY in all manner of conversation;

1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY.

1Pe 1:17 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:

1Pe 1:18 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;

1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1Pe 1:21 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.

1Pe 1:22 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:

1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed (UNHOLINESS), but of incorruptible (HOLINESS), by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1Pe 1:24 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:

1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”

Hebrews 12:14-17 “Follow peace with all men, AND HOLINESS, WITHOUT which NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD: 15 LOOKING DILIGENTLY LEST ANY MAN FAIL THE GRACE OF GOD (YES, ONE CAN LOSE THE GRACE OF GOD ONCE THEY HAD IT AND END UP IN HELLFIRE FOREVER); lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby MANY BE DEFILED; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when HE WOULD HAVE INHERITED THE BLESSING, he was rejected: for HE FOUND NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE, THOUGH HE SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS.”

Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man (CONDITION), which is corrupt (UNHOLY) according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that YE PUT ON THE NEW MAN (BE HOLY), which after God is created in righteousness and TRUE HOLINESS.

WATCH THE CONDITIONS

Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stole STEAL NO MORE: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

Matthew 10:34-36 “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I CAME NOT TO SEND PEACE, BUT A SWORD (DIVISION). 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes(ENEMIES) shall be they OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.”

Luke 12:51-52 “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?
