TITLE, (THE NEED FOR HOLY LIVING.
INTRO, THE VERY MENTION OF HOLY LIVING IS A JOKE IN OUR DAY IN THE WORLD OF THE UNSAVED,THE MENTION OF HOLINESS WILL UPSET MOST ANY CONVERSATION.BUT DESPITE
WHAT PEOPLE THINK OR SAY ,WE BETTER CONCERN OURSELVES WITH WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE MATTER. TRUE THE WORD HOLINESS HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED ,,ABUSED AND MISUSED. STILL ,GOD SAY"S BE YE HOLY :FOR IAM HOLY. AMEN!!!!
OUTLINE,
3 THINGS WE WILL SAY ABOUT THE NEED FOR HOLY LIVING.
1.THE PEOPLE OF HOLY LIVING.
ALL SAVED PEOPLE SHOULD DESIRE TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE
WHEN A PERSON MEETS JESUS AND IS BORN AGAIN HE ALWAYS ABANDONS THE OLD LIFE AND HE FOLLOWS JESUS . A BORN AGAIN PERSON WILL WALK A NEW WALK,, TALK A NEW TALK,AMEN!!
A BORN AGAIN PERSON WILL HAVE A NEW LOVE , NEW LIFE, NEW LONGING, AND WILL HAVE A NEW LODGEING JOHN 14:1-3
2COR.5:17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHIRST HE IS A NEW CREATURE OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.
2.THE PATTERN OF HOLY LIVING.
NO HUMAN BEING WHO EVER LIVED ON THIS EARTH IS A EXAMPLE OF HOLY LIVING JESUS CHIRST, GOD INCARNATE IS OUR ONLY PERFECT PATTERN OF HOLY LIVING. MANY BIBLE CHARACTERS HAVE LIVED HOLY LIVES AND HAVE LEFT US THEIR
EXAMPLE TO PROFIT BY,, BUT STILL JESUS IS THE ONLY PATTERN WE SHOULD FOLLOW,WHY BECAUSE JESUS WILL NEVER LEAD US DOWN THE WRONG PATH AMEN!!!
3.THE POWER OF HOLY LIVING.
A HOLY LIFE YIELDS A POWER FUL INFLUENCE,I THINK ABOUT YOUNG JOSEPH IN THE OT. HE LOST HIS COAT BUT KEPT HIS CHARACTER.
THERE ARE BLESSINGS THAT COME WITH LIVING A HOLY GODLY LIFE,AS WE LOOK HEAVENWARD A HOLY LIFE KEEPS US IN POSITION TO TALK INTO THE EAR OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND IN CONDITION TO HEAR GOD SPEAK BACK TO OUR HEARTS.
IN WORSHIP A HOLY LIFE IS ABLE TO OFFER ACCEPTABLE PRAISE TO GOD,AMEN!! PS100, PS 150 LETS READ.
