5 – Purity and Holiness:
Purity and sanctity isn’t an option, but a behest:
The sin isn’t a normal thing, something inevitable. Jesus passed away and arise in order to make us free from this terrible tyranne:

After all, Jesus’ love consist on this:
So, have a grandiose day doing all things without murmurings and disputings: that you may be blameless and harmless, the son of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:14,15).

5 – Purity and Holiness:
- “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16).
- “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5.48).
Purity and sanctity isn’t an option, but a behest:
- “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1John 3.5-9).
- “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.” (1John 5.18).
The sin isn’t a normal thing, something inevitable. Jesus passed away and arise in order to make us free from this terrible tyranne:
- “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8.2-4).
What glorify Jesus isn’t our capacity of keeping ourselves at bay from the sin, but Jesus’ work in us so that we can be totally able to abide by Him and His will:
- “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12,13).
After all, Jesus’ love consist on this:
- “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1 John 4:9).
- “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” (1 John 5:3).
So, have a grandiose day doing all things without murmurings and disputings: that you may be blameless and harmless, the son of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:14,15).
