TOPIC: DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF A HEAVEN-BOUND CHRISTIAN
TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 6-8
SATURDAY JULY 16th
Key verse: Hebrew.12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Christianity is all about a holy God, who lives in the holy heaven and sent His holy Son to the earth to redeem sinful men and make them holy in heart and life so that they may serve the holy God eternally. Holiness is God’s demand from men. It is also God’s provision for men in Christ. Ephesians 5:25 The Bible clearly says that God has not called us unto uncleanness but to holiness but many people despise the teaching of holiness. Be warned for he that despiseth, despiseth not man but God who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit.
You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Keep God’s words and obey all His commandments diligently. Live in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. He who hath called us is holy so all Christians are expected to live holy lives. All who claim that the call of God on their lives is to preach only healing, prosperity, and miracles are telling us that it is not the Lord Jesus Christ that called them because the call of God is unto holiness
Total cleansing is through faith in Christ. In Christ, you can be purged. Peter said in Acts 15:8-9 God which knoweth the heart, bare them, witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their heart by faith. This is what the Lord has promised to do. The matter is in your hand. God is the architect of holiness but the decision to do or not to do is in your hand. God will not force you but the choice is yours since He has told you the requirement for heaven. You are the one to decide whether you want to be holy or not, whether you will consecrate yourself unto holiness or not. Can you dedicate yourself?
