                      be governed by that word, life and peace will rule in your

                      heart. Then, why should you ignore the Word and live with
                      only the mind set on the flesh then become hostile to God?

                      Therefore, I wonder whether the Word abundantly dwells
                      in you and peace rules in your heart. This sermon’s text

                      that we read first says, Examine yourselves to see whether

                      you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that
                      Christ Jesus is in you? Therefore, if peace rules in your
                      heart, it is proof that Jesus is in you.




                      Eighth, it is that ‘Are you constantly going forward to
                      holiness every day?’ In other words, holiness is ‘Holy’.
                      To those who go forth to holiness every day, to those

                      who  have  been  purified  from  their  sins  through  the

                      shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ, God says, ‘There is
                      no sin! You are justified!’ Because they were clothed in
                      the righteousness of Jesus, they have become sinless and

                      they have become the ones living by that righteousness.

                      They definitely have been grafted to Jesus. Therefore, the
                      men of Jesus are to grow up by the righteousness of Jesus.

                      In 1 Peter 1:14-16, it is said, Do not conform to the evil

                      desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as
                      he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is
                      written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Therefore, it is the


                                                                         37
