Holiness
Focus Word: Holiness
Verse: Leviticus 19:2 “Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.”
Declaration: Holiness is my strength; I build a life that reflects God’s purity and power.
God tells us very clearly to be Holy like Him.
Holiness is God’s nature reflected in us.
When we learn about God’s characteristics, we see shared attributes and unshared attributes. The unshared attributes are His omnipresence, His power, His omniscience, etc. God’s shared attributes are His holiness which he shares with us and helps us to grow into; also His love and compassion among other attributes!
Holiness is not merely rule-keeping. It is a resemblance of God. It means to become more like Him. God works on this in us but without our conscious effort, we cannot be more like Him.
1 Peter 1:15,16 “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.””
Psalm 24:3,4 “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.”
2 Corinthians 7:1 “Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness.”
The real meaning of holiness is ‘set apart’. Set apart for God means away from sin and the world. God has set apart all of us from the rest of the world; those who believe in God and follow Him. If you are part of these people, you need to be holy.
2.Holiness strengthens inner stability.
Holiness is not weakness. Some feel that being set apart or not doing what others do makes you a fool or an embarrassment. For example: drinking. To avoid the consequences and pitfalls of drinking, when people of God stop drinking, people may make fun of them.
Holiness is not weakness, it is strength
Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people”.
Isaiah 35:8 “And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it;”
Hebrews 12:14 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Sin weakens emotional structures from the inside. It affects people’s conscience, but demon spirits lead them to sin again. Holiness reinforces people. They will be fearless in their moral strength.
Holiness prevents internal corrosion. Purity guards your heart; strength guards your future.
3.Holiness invites God’s manifest presence.
Throughout scripture, Holiness precedes glory.
Exodus 19:10,11 “10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lordwill come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.”
Joshua 3:5 “Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.””
Holiness today leads to miracles tomorrow.
Psalm 96:9 “Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.”
God’s power flows freely in prepared vessels. With holiness we will not perish. In the Old Testament, the Israelites were transporting the Ark of the Covenant in the wrong way on an oxen. And here, Uzzah wrongfully tried to catch the Ark so it does not fall; he died immediately because he was not prepared.
4. Holiness is a daily choice.
It is not a moment, it is a lifestyle.
Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
Galatians 5:16 “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Titus 2:12 “It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,upright and godly lives in this present age,”
God looks at our heart; what we think, read, watch even when no one is around. He sees what happens inside. We need to be holy on the inside daily. Only if we are very careful and mindful, can we keep ourselves holy. It is a daily conscious decision. Purity requires vigilance. This is what God calls us towards.
