The more we grow and abound in grace, and particularly in the grace of love, the more we are established and confirmed in it. Holiness is required of all those who would go to Heaven, and therein we must be unblameable; that is, we must act in every thing so that we may not in the least contradict the profession we make of holiness. Our desire should be to have our hearts established in holiness before God, and be preserved safe, to the (Second) Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that we may be unblameable before God, even the Father, now, and be presented blameless before the Throne of His Glory, when the Lord Jesus shall come with all His saints. The Lord Jesus will certainly come, and come in His Glory. When He comes, His saints will come with Him: They shall appear with Him in Glory. Then the excellency as well as the necessity of holiness will appear, because without this no hearts shall be established at that day, nor shall any one be unblameable, or avoid everlasting condemnation. The New Matthew Henry commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
