AND WHAT IS HOLINESS ALL ABOUT? Part 3 (Concluding Part)

HOW TO BECOME HOLY AND CONTINUE IN HOLINESS
Holiness is a must, not optional, as long as you have concluded to make heaven. Without holiness, you will regret that you came to this world; without holiness, all your services and sacrifices unto God are useless and fruitless, because without holiness, you will never see the Lord. God is holy, and he commands his genuine children to be holy, saying, ““Be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16, that implies holiness is possible, that is the reason God demands it from us; if it were not possible, He would not have asked us to be holy.

Here are how to be holy:

SURRENDER ALL
The beginning of holiness is repentance from sin, confessing the sin and surrendering your life to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

START ANEW
After you are saved, holiness does not come automatically, you need to start a new life in Jesus Christ. Many are saved, but they failed to start new life in Jesus, so they remain the same in their old sinful life. Salvation without starting a new life in Jesus Christ is a sorry case that will end in sorrow. After repentance from sin and surrender to Jesus, you will need to start a new life in Jesus, you don’t continue in the old sinful life, but you start a new life by separating yourself from sinful things, activities, people, place and materials; Its then that your salvation will be permanent, and holiness will begin to manifest in your life.

STRIVE
The truth is that, as human being, we were born in sin so holiness was never our nature, and after we are saved, our nature does not change automatically to holiness. We need to strive. Romans 6:22, “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.”

BE CRUCIFIED
The truth is that if you are not crucified you cannot live holy, you must go to Calvary for crucifixion. Your self must be crucified totally, you must die to self completely. That is what Jesus said in Luke 9:23 “And he said to them all, if any man will come after Me, let him DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW ME. All bitterness, anger, wrath and selfish attitude, self centered attitude, pride and self esteem with self exaltation must be crucified.

STAY BLESSED!
We need to continue steadfastly in the way of holiness and in word of God, holiness of yesterday will not stand for stand for today, it is a continuous working – prayer, reading and studying the Word of God and watching. There is no graduation of holiness, there is no seniority in holiness, we keep checking our lives to surrender all to Jesus daily.

Having surrendered all to Jesus Christ, beloved, please stay blessed in the Lord.
