Believers, who look forward to true blessedness, shall find it is found only through being restored unto perfect righteousness and true holiness. This restoration becomes the hearts desire. The heart hungers and thirsts to be restored into that state of perfect righteousness and true holiness which man had before the fall.

Hebrews 12;14 tell us to  "Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy cannot see the Lord."

Those who live a holy life have confident hope of seeing the Lord.

1 John 2:28
"And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be FULL OF COURAGE and not shrink back from him in shame"

True fellowship in Christ is not being led by false teaching. Those who listen to false teaching are not be in fellowship with Christ because the best they can ever recieve is WORLDLY GAIN. Such people will shrink back in shame when the KING OF KINGS returns, because of the Judgement that will surely fall upon them.

However to those who thrist and hunger after righteousness, they shall be satisfied in all that they do. The Lord looks at the heart and it's desires. God is Love. When we choose to live in love, we live in God, and God lives in us. and as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we can never be afraid of approaching the Lord with our request(s) because we know that whatever we ask the Father according to his will, that shall we recieve in JESUS NAME (Halleluyah and Amen) to that

God bless

if you apologize to someone and they refuse to even reply your greeting and then you decide to leave them alone; are you still living holy and not keeping malice?

hi i have been reading your posts. my question how do you live in peace with someone who refuses to live in peace with you? if you apologize to someone and they refuse to even reply your greeting and then you decide to leave them alone; are you still living holy and not keeping malice?

Leave such person alone and make sure that your conscience is clear of any malice. The key is having a clear conscience. IF you want to go the extra mile, pray for such person and leave the rest to God.
