True Holiness & Righteousness Is Occupation With Christ.

  As early as in old testament prophecy, holiness was clearly defined in it's true character and essence as 'Unto the Lord' - "Holiness Unto The Lord" Zechariah 14:20-21 & Jeremiah 2:3. True righteousness and holiness is not unto ourselves or unto men as seeking the approval of men, but unto the Lord and thus lies in occupation with the Lord. When we teach righteousness, sanctification & holiness as themes, things or virtues in themselves which we're to set out or strive to attain, we're already programmed for religious self occupation and that's defeat even before a fall. We are not called to be holy or righteous, neither are we called to fellowship with our self efforts to be holy or righteous, we are rather called to fellowship with the Son of God who is our sanctification and rightousness.

This is of course the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time which goes with the revelation/appearing of the Lord Jesus according to 1st Peter 1:5 & 13 👇🏼 5  Who are kept guarded by  the  power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in  the  last time. 13  Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind,  be  sober and  hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace  which will be  brought to you at  the  revelation of Jesus Christ. Verse 9 calls it the salvation of our soul which is the end, conclusion or consummation of our faith.👇🏼 9  Receiving the end of your faith,  the  salvation of  your  s

The Appearing Of Jesus Christ(salvation ready to be revealed in the last time).

1st Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in the heavens for you, who are kept guarded by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. *Mark "Inheritance reserved in the heavens for you", and "salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."  Now let's read verse 6 to 7  "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the proving of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ".  Here in verses 6 & 7 scripture speaks of the test/proving of our faith; how it is much more precious to
