Posted on January 18th, 2009 No comments- 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
