Manifesting Holiness

1 Peter 1:16
Since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Absolute holiness is the final product for the disciples of Jesus Christ.  We become absolutely holy when we go to meet Our Lord for all eternity.  Until that time, we can experience periods of holiness when our behavior is a reflection of the Holy One that lives within us.

When our behavior reflects the standards of our flesh, we move toward darkness.  Only by turning our focus toward The Light, can we manifest the holiness that God has given us through His presence in our lives.

We must be mindful of our holiness.  It is our duty and our responsibility as followers of Jesus Christ.  Because the enemy is certain to come against us, we must trust in the grace of God for His holiness to be reflected in our lives.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the atonement that You have provided through Your Son which allows us to be holy, as You are holy.  We rejoice in knowing that we are in perfect union with You when we are abiding in Your Son.  We ask, Father, that the Holy Spirit will help us to be on guard against the sins to which we are inclined.  We pray that Your countenance shine upon us and Your grace be with us always so that we may turn away from evil and obey Your will in all areas of our lives.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
