I believe in holiness but according to the bible the real mark of holiness is love. Love is working for the benefit of others. If someone is in danger of eternal punishment you will pray & work to see the Lord rescue them. If something is going to cause pain to another or cause them to be in disfavor with God, you will not participate but try to dissuade them.
Again, you will work to keep peace with another instead of getting offended & acting like the world. You know I love to chat with people about politics & other stuff but people get so angry at times, you would believe their mother was just insulted. If someone does not do anything to intentionally hurt you, why would you choose to be insulted & become angry.
Does anyone know what it means to be a mature believer these days? Does anyone study the bible & see that how you treat people is the mark of how much you understand how God sees that individual & you. The bible connects your 'fear of God' with how you handle what is most precious to him. I am, I know that, no matter how people treat me. I know that I am the apple of His eyes & I am His child. If I act in contradiction to what love is (& God is love) then I am a child of the devil.
