Living blameless lives without spot or stain

December 9, 2016

“So then, my dear friends, while you are waiting, do your best to live blameless and unsullied lives so that he will find you at peace.” 2 Peter 3:14

The Scripture tells us that our lives are to be without spot, stain or blemish. How can the spots, the stains and the blemishes of our sins and wounds be wiped away? It is only by our constant, heartfelt repentance and staying close to the Cross, where continuous streams of blood and water, grace and mercy flow for the cleansing of all humanity. If we have been cleansed, we enjoy great peace as we look forward exultantly in the hope of meeting Christ Jesus our Lord.
