How Can I Live A Holy Life? Series

Jesus Christ stepped out of His privileged position in the throne room of heaven to take on a body of flesh so he could shed His precious blood on Calvary to redeem us from the penalty of our sin. – Tommy Higle

Because Jesus lives, we too, shall live (John 11:15-26)

Aren’t you thankful that there is more to life than just living and dying?

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, all fear is gone, I know He holds the future, life is worth the living, just because He lives.

4. Because of Our Purification

The real test of holy living is demonstrated through how we love one another.

When you see Jesus face to face, do you think He’ll be impressed with you because you attend a certain church? Read a certain version of the Bible? Wear a certain label of clothes? Can quote a thousand scriptures?

What matters is that our faith is working through love (Galatians 5).

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, etc.

1 Corinthians 13 – unselfish, patient, kind, not easily angered, etc.

The gospel of Jesus Christ brings true transformation to our lives. (Isaiah 40:6-8)

All our glory is nothing compared to the glory of God and the truth of His Word that endures forever.

100 out of 100 die.

God’s will, God’s work, God’s Word are permanent.

What are we living for? The world? The flesh? Our glory? It’s here today and gone tomorrow. James 4:14

Living in holiness before God our Father

Living in the power of Christ’s redeeming grace

Living to love and serve the body of Christ – this is an incredible life.

Self and sinful live is the empty way of life we used to live in before Christ.

Allowing Christ to live through us and expressing that life to others is the holy way.

How can you make living holy your top priority this week?

What Now? My Mission…

1. Reflect on what Gods’ being holy means to you personally.

2. Examine your life for unconfessed attitudes and/or actions that you wouldn’t want to admit in standing before God.

3. Let the precious blood of Christ achieved on believers’ behalf guide your daily living.

4. Pray for God to make you a pure vessel for His indwelling Spirit.

Note: These are my Sunday school lesson notes in teaching the Explore the Bible lessons from Lifeway. I rely heavily on the Bible and the ETB commentary for my notes. Also, I like to use Josh Hunt’s Good Questions Have Groups Talking and you’ll see some of his questions throughout my notes. May the Lord bless you and your congregation as you teach His Word and shepherd His flock day by day.
