The holiness of God is more than just sinlessness. His unique nature is made clear by this quality.
When time comes to an end, will God be finished with the church? The Bible shows that our role will continue into eternity. “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” 1 Corinthians 15:19 (English Standard Version)
The last of the “7 Christian Virtues” is perhaps the most important; it ensures that we will be like God.
The “last days” actually refers to the entire time of the church of Christ. What is expected of the church? “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (English Standard Version)
The Lord’s church is not a last-minute substitute for an earthly kingdom; prophecies in the Old Testament make this clear. “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” Psalm 118:22 (English Standard Version)
Love for the family in Christ must be a characteristic mark of Christians. “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” Romans 12:10 (English Standard Version)
As Jesus works to make “all things new” in the lives of His people, their view of material goods must change. “Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” Proverbs 22:9 (English Standard Version)
