1 Th 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 1Th 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Our goal in all things is this: to be found in the image of Jesus Christ, holy, blameless, at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our desire should be to be established in holiness. Part of this process of being established in holiness is to increase and abound in love toward one another. Holiness is love lived out; living life behaving as love behaves. Holiness is doing what is right, obeying God’s commandments. But it is more than that; it is doing the right things for the right reasons, with the right motives. Live in love, live a holy life.
