ONE LEVEL UP (3)
INTRODUCTION
The Lord calls us to go up to His level, to live as He lives and to think as He thinks.
This is God's call to His church: "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:15-16).
As His children, we are to respond to God's holiness by living in holiness.
CONTENT
How can we live in holiness?
Maintain an intimate relationship with God, in awe and respect for Him (1 Corinthians 1:9).
Through worship.
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” (Hebrews 12:28)
Having “fellowship” with believers (Psalms 1:1-2, 133:1-3)
4. Study God's Word.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. (2 Timothy 3:16).
Memperbarui pikiran dengan firman.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2)
In English, "be transformed" means to traverse/cross the world, to ascend to a higher place. Although we live in the world, let us strive to act like the Lord.
CONCLUSION
We, men who are still living on earth, will never be able to live in holiness by our own strength, but it is the Holy Spirit who enables and strengthens us to do so (John 14:26).
