Q3. Judgment and Gospel
gmjackson replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in #2 Living Holy Lives (1 Pet 1:13-2:3)
I believe people take offense to being judged by others because it is seen as attacking their self-worth. -
Holiness is pure and obedient to the Word of God. Although we fall short, it is our constant attempts to remain pure and righteous in His eyes.
