HOLINESS, THE WAY OF GOD

“Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy” (Leviticus 19:2). 

There is no other way mentioned in the scriptures. If the Almighty God is Holy then we, the children of the Heavenly Father, are to be holy as He is holy. 

The religions of the world have never been in the scriptures, nor will they ever be!

Holiness is our firm belief, and it is God’s way, so it has to be our way of life. All other religions have men as founders, giving a beginning and an ending to their religions, but not Holiness. 

The Bible says, “According as He (God) hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love” (Ephesians 1:4). 

How great holiness is! Before creation was, Holiness was already here! It is ordained of God for everyone to be holy!

Holiness is not like the religion of men; it totally reflects the will of the One God! 

Sin is not justified in any form, but rather it is total obedience unto God. Holiness involves surrendering your will to God’s will, with submission and self-denial to every way that is against God. 

The scripture teaches us, “And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean” (Leviticus 10:10). The scriptures also say, “The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works” (Psalm 145:17). 

The prophets and apostles were Holy Men. They did not profess any other religion, nor will we. “For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches” (Romans 11:16).

Holiness is the way of God. It is our standard, for we are the branches. It is this kind of church which God is coming for. “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:27). 

From the Old Testament to the New, Holiness has always been God’s Way!

Isaiah 35:8, “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.” 

Exodus 15:11, “Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” 

Leviticus 11:45, “For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” 

Luke 1:74-75, “That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.”

II Corinthians 7:1, “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 

Ephesians 4:24, “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and TRUE HOLINESS.” 

Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man

shall see the Lord.” 

I Peter 1:16, “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 

The scriptures do not point to anything else for God’s people to follow, and with God’s help, we are determined to lift up The Holy Standard of God.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” 🙏
