Be Holy by Jerome Stewart 
Psalm 18 vs. 30 says; “As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him”
The Apostles of Jesus Christ were holy men of God who were moved to speak by the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Peter encouraged the brethren on the need to live holy lives. The Hebrew word for holy means “set apart.” The Greek word for holy means “sacred, pure, and worthy.” In 1st Peter 1 vss. 15 and 16 Peter says; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written; “Be holy for I am Holy.”
1st. Peter 3 vs. 12 says; “For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.” There is good taken place throughout the world because many children of God want to do right and are seeking to live holy lives. May God continue to bless you!
We rarely hear about the good, but we are reminded daily of the evil ways of mankind. We are reminded each day of the brevity of life because people die every day. This life is temporal and glory be to God that it is. It would be helpful to know for those willing to give careful consideration to obedience to the gospel, where the authority of the Apostle’s of Christ came from. The Apostle Paul wrote 13 epistle’s of the New Testament.
The Apostle Peter reminded the brethren on where their authority came from and on what they needed to do moving forward.
In 2nd. Peter 1 vss. 13 thru 15 He says; “Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as the Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.” Consider this as a reminder today.
Vss. 16 thru 21 Peter says; “For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
