Holiness


Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

The actions of the people of the world are based on the theme of the book of Judges, which is, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes,” Judges 17:6.  You can’t afford to follow in their ways if your desire is to be a reflection of Jesus.  Holiness and peace are necessary to qualify you to see the Lord.  Some will compromise to have peace without conflict, but don’t consider the necessity of holiness in their actions.  They mix all kinds of worldliness with their Christianity, hoping the Lord will overlook it.  There are others who have a bitter spirit, or refuse to forgive others, and fail to realize this disqualifies them from a life of holiness.  Ask the Holy Spirit to show you if there is anything displeasing to the Lord in your life today.  Find out how He wants you to resolve the issue, so that you can be pleasing to Him in every area of your life.
