Called To Be Holy

Summary: WHAT IS HOLINESS?
WHAT IS HOLINESS?
HOLINESS MEANS TO BE SEPERATED FROM THAT WHICH IS FILTHY AND UNCLEAN.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:17 TELLS US
TO COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM (THE WORLD) AND BE YE SEPERATE,AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING; AND I WILL RECIEVE YOU.
IN LEVITICUS 10:9,10
THE LORD GIVES RULES TO AARON FOR THE PRIESTS
THE LORD TELLS AARON
DO NOT DRINK WINE NOR STRONG DRINK, YOU NOR YOUR SONS WITH YOU,WHEN YOU GO INTO THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION, LEST YOU DIE: IT SHALL BE A STATUTE FOREVER THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS: AND THAT YOU MAY PUT A DIFFERANCE BETWEEN HOLY AND UNHOLY, AND BETWEEN UNCLEAN AND CLEAN;
NOT ONLY DID AARON AND THE PRIESTS HAVE TO BE HOLY.BUT GOD COMMANDED MOSES IN LEVITICUS 8:6 THAT BEFORE THE PRIESTS WERE TO BE CONSECRATED THAT AARON AND HIS SONS HAD TO WASH OUTWARDLY WITH WATER BEFORE THEY WERE VESTED WITH THE HOLY VESTMENTS.VERSES 7-9 WE READ THAT MOSES PUT UPON AARON AND HIS SONS THE HOLY GARMENTS. IN VERSE 10 MOSES THEN TOOK THE ANOINTING OIL,AND ANOINTED THE TABERNACLE AND ALL THAT WAS THEREIN,AND SANCTIFIED THEM.
LIKE THE TABERNACLE WHICH WAS HOLY SO ALSO MUST THE MAN OF GOD BE HOLY!
IN JOHN 3:5 JESUS SAY’S
EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER (THE WORD)AND OF THE SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT),HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THROUGH THE ACT OF REGENERATION;THE NEW BIRTH SET US APART FROM THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN REGENERATED.IT ALSO CONSECRATES OR SANCTIFIES US. SETS US APART.
IT IS GOD WHO CALLS AND CLEANSES US!
WHEN GOD CALLED ABRAHAM HE TOLD HIM IN GENESIS 12:1 TO GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM THY KINDRED, AND FROM THY FATHERS HOUSE, UNTO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW THEE:
WE SEE HERE THE CALL AND AND HOW GOD REGENERATES.
2CORINTHIANS 6:17;JOHN 3:5
EPHESIANS 5:26 TELLS US HOW GOD SANCTIFIES AND CLEANSES US WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.
JOHN 15:3 NOW YOU ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.
PSALMS 119:9 ASKS WHEREWITHAL SHALL A YOUNG MAN CLEANSE HIS WAY? BY TAKING HEED THERETO ACCORDING TO THY WORD.
GOD HAS CALLED US TO BE HOLY!
EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS!
