Saved Sinners ÒUnblameable in Holiness before GodÓ 1 Thessalonians 3:13
Every sinner who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is perfectly holy in the sight of God (Colossians 2:9-10). Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith in him, we fulfill all the law of God (Romans 3:28). By faith in Christ we give what God demands from us, complete satisfaction for all our sins and perfect holiness. In Christ every believer stands before GodÕs holy law in perfect holiness (Romans 5:19; 2 Corinthians 5:21), with a holy nature imparted to him in regeneration (2 Peter 1:4), in hope of a holy life with Christ forever in eternal glory (1 John 3:2). As we behold the wonders of GodÕs salvation, let our hearts sing with Moses, ÒWho is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?Ó If you are GodÕs, if you are born again, if you trust the Lord Jesus Christ, you are in Christ Òunblameable in holiness before God, even our FatherÓ (1 Thessalonians 3:13), and Christ will present you before him in the last day Òunblameable in holiness before God, even our FatherÓ (Jude 1:24-25). What a blessed hope that is!
