Your Holy calling
Your holy calling is to love; what does it mean to be holy? Going to church, worshiping, fasting, being kind, telling the truth and etc… …but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct… (1 Peter 1:15)
When Jesus talked to Peter about his pending fall, first He encouraged him by letting him know that He was praying for him; then He said to Peter, when you have returned to Me strengthen the brethren. Luke 22:31-33 NKJV
31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."
In all things we are called to love and all other things will fall into there proper places through love. His holiness is only possible in us through His love and nothing else.
Matt 22:35-40
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
NKJV
It was finished with love. John 19:30 …”It is finished!”
