Holiness Gives Spiritual Enduement
Thursday June 27th
Text: Ephesians 1: 3 - 4
Key verse: Psalm 139:1 “O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known me.”
Believers must be holy and without blame. If as a wife your unbelieving husband is blaming you, can you say that you are holy? Then it must be that in critical judgment, that man’s blame is not approved by God. You did not sin actually but if the blame is justifiable; that you really failed. You have not come to the holiness required. You are not walking in the highway of holiness. If people are complaining about you, can you really say that their complaints are not true? Will God justify you?
Of course, they complained against Jesus anyway that He healed on the Sabbath day and their complaints were out of ignorance but is your own like that? Are their complaints against you actually true? Then, you are to blame. Then, you are not walking in the highway of holiness. If as a pastor, members are complaining and murmuring about you in your church and God causes those murmurings to come to your ears; some may even come to you directly. Can you sincerely say that the complaints are not true and God will justify you? Or is the Holy Spirit is on their side. Then you are to blame. You are not walking on the highway of holiness.
God purposed in Christ that we should walk holy before Him. He has also purposed in Christ that we should be blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. God has granted us access to all things that pertain to life and godliness because we have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust and have possessed His divine nature. All things pertaining to life and godliness belong to us. The blessings of life. Why? We have escape from the corrupt nature. And what if you are still in corruption? Why are you crying for blessings? Where do you think they will come from? From the holy God? No! Come up to the highway of holiness. Yes! You will be endued with various, differs of blessings, gifts in the Lord Jesus.
Thought for the day: God purposed in Christ that we should walk holy before Him.
Song for the day: Holy life, I must live holy life, I must live holy, as example …
Bible reading for the day: Psalms 120-133
