• Holy is a critical word – what is Holy?
• How is holy different that pure?
• 1 Peter 1:13-16
• There ought to be increasing evidence of Christ in your life
• To make the most out of life, be holy
• Holiness is internal, not external
• Is ‘holy’ even comprehensible?
• Moral integrity, absolute perfection, pure ~ holy
• Without a fresh glimpse of God, the people will self-destruct
• Worship is about keeping God in His place in our hearts – Holy and worthy of fear / reverence
• We are called to be holy
• God is inviting us to live the life He intended
• Need to delete unholiness from our lives from time to time (frequency will come from your level of focus)
• Protect yourself (with God’s help) from allowing unholiness to enter your life
• As you move toward holiness, it requires you to leave things behind (people, ideas, habits, attitudes, hurts, unforgiveness, unbelief, control)
• All we are truly capable of as Christians is being obedient – let Him be in charge
• Sanctification
• Christianity is a journey toward holiness, dropping off unholiness along the way
• Glimpse His holiness by studying His word
• Write letters to God
• Conform to God’s will and Christ’s likeness
• Put everything on the table and invite God to decide whether each "thing" is holy and / or leading to your holiness
• Not inviting Him to "inspect" is like hiding from Him
• Lord, show me what needs to be left behind
