Holiness Opens the Door
Beloved, note that grace and peace are multiplied through the knowledge of God, but first our faith comes through the righteousness of God. It is righteousness first and then knowledge.
Read 2 Peter 1: 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
If you expect any revelation of God part from holiness, you will have only a mixture. Holiness opens the door to all the treasures of God. He must first bring us to the place where we, like our Lord Love righteousness and hate lawlessness before He opens up to us these good treasures.
When we regard iniquity in our hearts, the Lord will not hear us. Psalm 66: 18, and it is only as we are made righteous, pure and holy through the precious blood of God's Son that we can enter into this life of holiness and righteousness in the Son. It is the righteousness of our Lord Himself made real in us as our faith remains in Him.
Disobedience keep you away from partaking of the Tree of Life.
