God has predestined the believer to be conformed to the image of Christ. This work is placed unto the hands of the Holy Spirit who assures us, “All things are working together for good.”

Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. Then John said we shall see Him! What a blessed hope. Because Jesus shall change us in the twinkling of an eye – everything God requires us to be – we shall be- for we shall be like Him.

The benefits of God extended to His children were never intended to be viewed through the lens of the Law. Rather, they were to be seen through grace, thus producing great joy and peace. The offer to men to be holy is not a burden, but a great joy. The task to be holy is all of the Lord and the believer’s faith that God can.
