Commandments and Exhortations to Holiness

Brian reminded us that there are few songs which speak of God's wrath. There are also few songs that exhort us to live holy lives. Yet, that theme is scarcely absent from the Bible. “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'” (1 Peter 1:15–16).
When we return to Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, Paul, as a good spiritual father and a pastor, cared deeply about the Corinthian's progress in personal holiness. He gave practical commands and backed them with great practical promises from God to motivate them and us to personal holiness.
