Overcomers - Be Holy
September 6, 2015
KLC 2015 Theme: Seeking His Kingdom “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
Lesson Text
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you 21 who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
1 Peter 1:13–21 (NASB)
Review
Being an overcomer starts with understanding you have been chosen by God to be a recipient of His mercy and to obtain an inheritance that He’s reserved in heaven for you. Being an overcomer begins with having the right MINDSET. An overcomer has their mind set on doing GOD'S WILL during TRIALS of their faith because of their confident expectation (i.e. hope) of a heavenly inheritance.
How can you know that you have the right mindset? Overcomers live holy lives BEFORE their faith is tested.
The only way to grow as an overcomer is to grow in HOLINESS, which requires growing in REVERENCE for God. If you believe you’re an overcomer because God will JUDGE all the unrighteousness done to you, then live holy because He will JUDGE your UNRIGHTEOUSNESS too. If you believe you’re an overcomer because God protects you and TREASURES you, then live holy because He TREASURES you and is JEALOUS for you.
Summary
We are overcomers because God is who He says He is and He will do what He said He would do. LIVING HOLY shows if we really believe that’s true.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Titus 2:11–14 (ESV)
