Holiness

What an awesome word today on holiness from Rev. Kevin Baker.

We are called to holiness -

1 Peter 1:13-16 - 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

1 Timothy 2:1-4 -1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Oh what God could do with a church that strove - by God's grace - to be holy - representing Christ more and more each day in their lives.

I remind you of a post in May 2008 about holiness - http://raymcd.blogspot.com/2008/05/holiness.html
