HOLY LIFE IN DIVINE NATURE

 There is an aspect of divine life that no one must joke with. This aspect super impose all you can understand about Christian living. So many of us wrongly labeled, misunderstood, and mistaken it for liberal life but were held hostage by the religious ideologies of men. With all of the misunderstanding and false representation, still there is a realm so majestic and glorious that belongs only to the true and living God. He alone possesses it and expresses the splendor of all that it has to offer. I am talking about Holiness. The Bible says, we who had become alienated from God by wicked works…we are brought near by the blood of Christ Jesus, which removed every sin that separated us from His holiness Colossian 1: 21-22, Ephesians 2:13

Holiness can only be understood by the revelation that God has given of Himself. God is holy, and holiness is defined by everything that He is. The sum total of His life is holiness. The many-splendored majesty of holiness is observed in the love of God, His goodness, and His truth. Everything that describes God is a definition of His holiness. Any time that God acts or is observed in the Bible, we are allowed to view His holiness and the attributes and behaviors that flow from holiness. We may say “God is love,” but we can speak even more broadly of who God is when we say “God is holy. I John 4:8 I Peter 1:15-16. As the essence of God is holiness, the essence of holiness is love.

Everything that is in relationship with God is holy, for holiness is essential to any interaction with God. In fact, originally, everything in creation was holy because it belonged to God. Holiness was only lost because of a rebellion against God. Get to have the fear of God in all you do then you can live a holy life.

Prayer:  I am holy the seed of holiness is in me therefore I will not be polluted
