We Are To Be Holy

 The Lord God Almighty desires His people to separate themselves from fond affinity with the filth of this seductive world system. He charges that all such unnatural bonding of purity with evil should be discarded with equal revulsion and tenacity, as if fleeing from Satan into the arms of the Lord.
 The precious promises for those that heed this call, is that God will be a Father to them and they will be His dearly beloved sons and daughters. The serious warning to those who reject His offer of salvation is eternal estrangement from God the Father and eternal condemnation: "Because they have not believed on the only begotten Son of God."
 We are not only called to cleanse ourselves of physical impurities and to rid our lives of fleshly pursuits that dishonor our Lord, but We Are To Be Holy. God is holy. We are to be righteous in thought, word, deed, and motive. We are to love the Lord with all our heart, and soul, and mind, and strength, and we are to love one another as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Our United Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we kneel in awe and wonder when we consider the grace that has been showered on us, that we should be called children of the holy Creator-God and made joint-heirs with Your beloved Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. we pray, that as we gaze into the face of the Lord Jesus, we may pass from glory to glory, and become increasingly conformed into Christ's image, and separate ourselves from the impurities and lusts of the world system and our fleshly selves. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
