For it is God’s will that you should
be holy - 1 Thessalonians 4:3.
Our God who called us is holy and so we should
also be holy in all we do. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in
all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” - 1 Peter 1:15,16.
God had chosen us before the foundation of the Lord that we should be holy and
blameless before Him in love. Just as He
chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before Him in love - Ephesians 1:4. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness - 1 Thessalonians 4:7. We are set apart for God's purpose as chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and His own special people.
As
God’s chosen and holy people, we should cloth ourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Also, we should forgive and love each
other. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear
with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against
someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on
love, which binds them all together in perfect unity - Colossians 3: 12-14.
Without walking in holiness, it is impossible to see the Lord. Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be
holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord - Hebrews 12:14. God's will for us is to be holy. So, let us put off
all our old self and put on the new self to walk in holiness like God. You were taught,
with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is
being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and
to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and
holiness - Ephesians 4:22-27.
PRAYER: DEAR Lord, Help us to walk in
holiness just as You are holy. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
