A Call To Holiness

Lev. 11:44-45

After one has committed his life to Christ, he usually feels a pull back to his old ways. We are enjoined to be like our heavenly Father – holy in everything we do. Holiness means being totally devoted, dedicated to God, set aside for His special use and set apart from sin and its influence. We are to be set apart and different, not blending in with crowd, yet not being different just for the sake of being different. What makes us different are God’s qualities in our lives. Our focus and priorities must be His. All this is in direct contrast to our old ways of life. We cannot become holy on our own, but God gives us his Holy Spirit to help us obey and give us power to overcome sins. Holiness makes you love what God loves and hates what God hates. As a Christian, you must distinguish yourself in a manner that glorifies God. Reject all unholy social customs of unbelievers.

Point of Emphasis: Our God is holy; He demands that we also be holy.

Prayer Point: Give me the grace, Mighty God, to live a holy life.
