God’s Presence as Fire

1 Corinthians 1:2; 14:33 – Saints
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Revelation 1:6; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Peter 2:5 – Kings and priests
And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21 – The righteousness of God
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Peter 3:14 – Without spot and blameless
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.

Colossians 1:21-22 – Holy, unblameable and unreproveable
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 – Spirit, soul, and body blameless
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
