The summary of this sermon is that the grace of our election enables us to be holy during our exile. Or to say it another way, our hope in Christ's future coming determines our present holiness. Pastor Phill first explained the meaning of hope, the reasons for hope in Christ, and the ways that Peter teaches us to set our hope on Christ. Then in the second part of the message he explained the way this hope in Christ enables us to be holy. We examined the meaning of holiness, the reasons for holiness, and the practical ways that we are to strive for holiness.
