Called To Holiness!
“For God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but unto holiness.” 1 Thessalonians 4: 7. Therefore
we should not use the liberty which we as Christians have in Christ
as a license to live carelessly, wallowing again in the mire of the
world, the flesh, and the devil. We ought to seek a higher plateau
of living. We ought to approve of excellence, and we ought to
strive to live godly as our Father would have us to live. For he has
told us: “be ye holy as I am holy”
Not that we need to be arrogant
and haughty, spiritually proud Christians walking around with a chip
on our shoulder, for God hates a haughty spirit and a proud look; but
in all meekness and love toward one another, we ought to always be
aware of the great price that was paid for our redemption, and be
always aware of the name we bear, lest we, by our lives blaspheme and
disgrace his Holy name. Our reasonable service to God is that we
yield our bodies to him, and not only our bodies, but our minds and
soul also so that we might truly be his Holy temple. That he might
through us, and in us live his life to perfection, and that he might
be glorified.
Lord we pray that you will cleanse
us from within, help us to be Holy. sanctify us and let us live on a
plane of life that is fit for a king, in fact for the King of kings,
the Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to please thee in all our ways.
