to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father: Every set of man-made laws establishes a code of conduct. The fact that we comply with every human law to which we are amenable does not necessarily mean we are pleasing to God. A law-abiding citizen might be blameless so far as the laws of the land are concerned, but he would not be holy. Only as we comply with God’s law can we achieve an unblameable holiness. "Here the exercise of love is declared to be the means God uses to develop likeness to Christ in His children" (Hogg and Vine 108).
