Holiness is not one priority among many. Holiness defines our life. Everything we do is to be totally devoted to God, His plans, His purposes, His priorities.
We can't miss the connection between the use of our minds and the exercise of our hope. What will it take to hope fully in Christ’s return? Our minds, not sprawled out on the couch with a beer in our hands, but alert and active and clear.
The things we take for granted are the things that the Old Testament saints would have given up everything to experience. We’ve been born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and these are the glory days.
Some days, it might feel like we're struggling just to believe. But from Heaven's perspective we see that God's power is at work, preserving our faith.
Peter's language of “elect exiles” is a challenge to progressive Christians who have sold out to the left-wing agenda. But it’s also a challenge to conservative Christians who can’t tell the difference between the right-wing agenda and the gospel of Christ crucified.
