Much revealed in these words.....

Much revealed in these words.....
Note 2017-164
Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, set your expectation perfectly upon the favour that is to be brought to you at the revelation of יהושע [Yahusha] Messiah, as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance, instead, as the One who called you is set-apart, [Yahuah] so you also should become set-apart in all behaviour, because it has been written, “Be set-apart, for I am set-apart.” And if you call on the Father, [Yahuah] who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear, knowing that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Messiah, [Yahusha] as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for your sakes, who through Him [Yahusha] believe in Elohim [Yahuah] who raised Him [Yahusha] from the dead and gave Him [Yahusha] esteem, so that your belief and expectation are in Elohim. [Yahuah] Now that you have cleansed your lives in obeying the truth through the Spirit [Ruach] to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently with a clean heart, having been born again – not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible – through the living Word of Elohim, [Yahuah] which remains forever, because “All flesh is as grass, and all the esteem of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the Word of Elohim [Yahuah] remains forever.”1 And this is the Word, announced as Good News to you. Footnote: 1Isa. 40:6-8.
