Holiness

 

Holiness

I Peter 1:13-16

“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, be holy, for I am holy.”

To be holy means to be dedicated or devoted to God. Jesus was totally devoted to His Father and is our prime example to follow in our quest for holiness. We as Christians, His children, must be willing to give up our worldly ways and be totally dedicated in following Jesus and in spreading the good news of salvation to those around us. We may not always have the words to speak but we can be a good example of one dedicated to the Lord.

To prepare ourselves we must learn the scriptures, read His words and get to know Him. Talk to Him in prayer, give Him our concerns and lean on Him to help us in time of need and find comfort in our despair. Seek out fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and encourage one another. We are never alone in this world. Jesus is always a breath away. His Holy Spirit dwells within us making it easier to be holy and set aside for God’s purposes. Be holy, for God is holy.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
