as well as the need to be ‘spotless, unblemished, and in peace.’​—2 Pet. 3:11-14.

⁵ Spotless, Unblemished, and in Peace: As part of the great crowd, we have ‘washed our robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.’ (Rev. 7:14) Being “spotless” means, then, that we must steadfastly guard against our clean, dedicated lives being sprinkled with impurities from the world. We keep ourselves “unblemished” by refusing to let ungodly, materialistic pursuits disfigure our Christian personality. (Jas. 1:27; 1 John 2:15-17) We demonstrate that we are living “in peace” by reflecting “the peace of God” in all our dealings with others.​—Phil. 4:7; Rom. 12:18; 14:19.
