Complete Holiness

1 John 2:15-17
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Often times individuals claim that they are living for Christ while still trying to hold own to things of the world. As 1 John 2:15 demonstrates we should not love the things of this world. Nowadays people want to take a wash-up with holiness, in other words they want to hold on to some of the things of this world. However, it is time to get fully cleansed by the blood of Jesus. We have a standard to uphold, when we receive the Holy Ghost we give up the things of the world. The bible says what communion has light with dark. Cleary that means that there must be a separation. As children of God, we should pursue righteousness. And by pursing righteousness we will receive our just reward.
