“A Heavenly Call To Holiness”

Key Verse

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15, 16).

Text —1 Peter 1:13-20

Message

God is holy, and demands holiness from His children. Our text says: “…Be ye holy; for I am holy.” God’s call on believers, including youths, to be holy, is timeless. It spans through all generations, and every nation of the world. Holiness, being the nature of God, is central to Christianity, and is the only thing that will follow believers all through eternity. Holiness is a prerequisite for seeing God and spending eternity with Him in heaven. While repentance and confession of sin leads to salvation, sanctification frees the believer from inbred nature of sin. Are you sanctified?

Beloved, it is difficult to fulfil the heavenly call to holiness without sanctification. To be sanctified, pray to God in faith believing, and He will sanctify you, thus empowering you to live a consistent holy life, without compromise and conformity to the world. God wants you to be holy despite the defilement in your school, workplace and the world in general. Therefore, live daily with heaven in view and you will overcome youthful lusts and social-vices like examination malpractices.

Quote
