1 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV) An Unblameable Heart

1 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV)

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

One of the qualifications of the office of the bishop is that the man be blameless. It’s not that he is perfect or even that he won’t be accused. It’s that he is not arrested. There is nothing for which he may be displaced from office. He meets the Biblical qualifications for the office. It is possible to find those men who meet the qualifications. There are those whose life meets the Bible standard. There may be few of them, but that is by design as well. While it would be fantastic if all Christians met the standard, and there is no reason for those who are not called to the ministry to relax the standard purposefully, it isn’t everyone who reaches this standard.

Our passage here speaks of something other than the office and more far-reaching than qualifications for

service. This passage speaks to every Christian and points to a day we will one day face. In that moment, the issue will be more profound than standards. Will your heart be free of guilt in the presence of Christ? The Word of God says it can be. Your heart does not have to hold you into account. Your heart can be holy and without blame. It’s by having a heart of compassion for others, even for all men.

We cannot win everyone to Christ. We cannot make friends with everyone. But we can sincerely desire that all men come to Christ through God’s grace.

Such a heart is unblameable in holiness before God.
