Why I Believe What I Believe
Day 67
Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:
Being holy is not being “holier than thou”
Being holy is humbly acknowledging who God is and humbly
making a distinction between worldly and godly. Even when the distinction
is not between good and evil but between “OK” and “BEST”
Lev 11:44-45 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall
therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy:
neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the
land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am
holy.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:
This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in
your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical
ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important
to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.
When we focus on the Lord and deny our flesh; holiness
becomes visible. The denying of flesh is not an outward showing of false
humility nor self-pity for wrong doing. Denying flesh is simple being
obedient to God and learning more about the truth.
1Peter 1:14-16 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;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1Co 10:2 3 All things are lawful for me, but all things are
not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
