Life Of Holiness
Contributed by Rolando, Jr Pama on May 2, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: True Holiness: It is a life of discipline, focus, and attention to matters of righteous living.
Life of discipline:
• Prayer.
• Meditation.
• Fasting.
• Simplicity.
Discipline produces holiness.
11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
7Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
Life of focus:
• Living a life that is not contaminated by the system or the way of this world.
2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Life of Righteousness
Walking in the Path of Righteousness:
• Moral Uprightness.
Colossians 3:5 (ESV English Standard Version)
5Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
8for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
7In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
CONCLUSION:
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
13Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
