Chris Mills continues his exposition bringing us to Peter's encouragement, through trials and dark providence, and declaration of how we are called to action in, through, and because of the gospel's outworking in our lives. He brings us 5 points here in being called to action, girding up our minds; the gospel calls us to train ourselves for reflection; to the hope in the grace of GOD in our salvation; to divorce ourselves from the lusts of the flesh and temptations of the world; and finally, with all this being true of our lives, the gospel calls us to be holy, as our triune GOD is holy- thrice holy, the definitive epitome of the very essence and thing that is holiness. God called us, named us, before the foundations of the world, to be HIS, and thus, like HIM. |
