TOPIC: THE CALL TO SERVE IN CHRIST'S  CHURCH IS A HOLY ONE 

TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:7-8  

7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His holy Spirit.

KEY VERSE: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Now, you see the calling of God here from the above text. What has God called us not to uncleanness, not to sin, not to a life of lies, not to a life of immorality, not to a life of witchcraft, not to a life of drunkenness. He has called us unto holiness. Live clean, righteous and pure to be perfect. That is the calling that God has given to us.

1 Peter chapter 1 verse 14 to 16. Provides thus, “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.” 

Conversation means way of life, way of living. That is in all manner of your life. He said, you were living a bad life before. You were living a wicked life before, wicked to your family, and wicked to the society. Maybe as one of these blind guards, you were a pastor over a congregation and you were wicked to them. Now, as He which hath called you is holy, the Creator of our life is holy, the founder of the Christian church is holy, so we must be holy.

Our Savior is holy. To be holy means, you do not commit sin. Even when he came to the Earth, he was harmless. He was holy. He was undefiled. He was pure. So, as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, in all manner of life, in all manner of your living because it is written, be ye holy for I am holy. 

Are you a Pastor in the church of Christ’s? Or serving in whatever capacity as a Christian?  You must be holy. So, you can see God has brought you to a level of himself in moral living, in righteous living, in holy living, that you be holy in your thoughts, holy in your ways, holy in your actions. That is what God expects of you. 

Yes, believers are called by God unto this life. You are called by God unto this life of righteousness and holiness even as God is holy. And in fact, the Bible says, Jesus says it, be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Thought for the day. The founder of the Church is holy, so we must be holy.

Song for the day. Called unto holiness

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-11
