CHRISTIANS
ARE LIKE THEIR FATHER IN HEAVEN THAT IS HOLY, THE BIBLE SAID.
(1 Peter 1:15-23) 15 But as
he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
5 GREAT
REASONS THAT MADE THE CHRISTIANS POSSIBLE TO BE LIKE OUR FATHERS IN WHO IS
HOLY.
1. MADE
POSSIBLE BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( I Peter 1:18-19 ) 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye
were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:
a. The
Precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ made us holy in the sight of God.
( Romans 5: 8-9 ) 8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
2. MADE
POSSIBLE BY OBEYING THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD.
( 1 Peter 1 :22 ) Seeing ye
have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned
love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
a. To
meditate the Word of God is another side of the coin but to observe or practice
in in your life is another side of the coin.
( Joshua 1:8 ) This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
b. More and
bountiful blessing God promise to those who obeyed God's word in their life.
( Psalms 1:1-3 ) 1 Blessed
is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the
way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in
his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers
of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
3. MADE
POSSIBLE BY PUTTING OUR FAITH IN GOD.
( 1 Peter 1: 20-21 ) 20 Who
verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in
these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up
from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
a. The
Christian are save by faith and will live their Christian life by faith also.
( II Corinthian 5:7 ) (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
b. For
without faith it is impossible to please God.
( Hebrews 11:6 ) 6 But
without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
4. MADE
POSSIBLE BY THE PROMISE OF GOD TO ALL WHO ARE BORN AGAIN IN CHRIST JESUS.
a. Only those
whose accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord Saviour experience to be born again.
( John 1:12-13 ) 12 But as
many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
b. The lost
people even they are secularly qualified they are not fit to do the holy things
of God. Because they are not called of God.
( 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 ) 26 For ye
see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many
mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which
are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
( 1 Peter 1: 23-25 ) 23 Being
born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of
man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth
away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And
this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
5. MADE
POSSIBLE BY THE CALLING OF GOD TO THE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST.
a. To live a
holy life by God's people are calling of God the Father to all Christian.
b. Christians
represent God in their spiritual life.
( I Corinthians 1:26 ) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that
not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
( 1 Peter 1:15-16 ) 15 But as
he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
* To God be
the glory *
