Leviticus 20:
26
The picture of
holiness in my mind, when I was a kid, was an older lady kneeling in prayer,
with a rosary wrapped around her hands.
What does the word
“holiness”
mean to you?
I’ve come to learn,
that holiness has nothing to do with appearance, but it has everything to do
with lifestyle.
Jesus reminds us to
be holy, because He Himself is holy.
Again, what does it
mean to be holy?
Jesus gave us a
direct command, to model our lives as an example, that He has set before
us.
Jesus expects us to
be deliberate in our attempt to be holy.
It was God’s
original plan for us to be holy, ever since the creation
story.
Obviously, we live
in a world that has been saturated with influences of the dark
kingdom.
Some of that has
actually infiltrated into the church.
As believers in
Christ, we must hold our banner high—and our banner should still read….
“Holiness Still Matters!”
Could it be that
people have lost interest in the church, because the church has lost its desire
for holiness?
Ask yourself this
question this morning; What do people see, when they look at
me?
Holiness, or
influences of this dark and dying world…
