Notes on verse:
“Follow … Holiness”:
In this epistle, it is explained as:
(1) A drawing near to God with full faith and a cleansed conscience (10:14, 22); and
(2) A genuine acceptance of Christ as the Savior and sacrifice for sin, bringing the sinner into fellowship with God.
Believers will not be drawn to accept Christ if believers’ lives do not demonstrate the qualities God desires, including peace and holiness (1 Peter 1:16).
Matthew 5:8-9 "Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God." "Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
We see from the next verse that God wants us to be at peace with our fellow man.
Romans 12:18 "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
If we are living for God, He will cause even our enemies to be at peace with us.
Proverbs 16:7 "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
