Holiness For The Child Of God

Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009

Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more
