The physical body of the believer belongs to God, set apart for His service.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
- If we are to live holy lives by the power of God, we must confess and forsake our sin.
- If we are to live holy lives by the power of God, we must "walk in the Spirit".
- If we are to live holy lives by the power of God, we must study the Word.
- If we are to live holy lives, we must be found faithful in the assembly of the saints.
- If we are to live holy lives, we must respond properly to trials
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
