Our Comfort and the Fear of God

God's promises as a spur to holiness. 'Having these promises...'

The holiness to be pursued. Holiness not fully attained in this life but to be sought after - outwardly and inwardly - no deals to be made with sin.

Holiness and the fear of God.
The nature of godly fear - not inconsistent with joy - produces separateness from the world - brotherly love and the pursuit of holiness go together.
