How comfortable we are to add God to our lives with little or no change necessary on our part. Such is not the message of the true gospel or the teaching of the Scriptures on the spiritual life. The Old Testament prophets, along with John the Baptist and then Jesus, called for a radical change for those who would trust and obey God. “Repent” was an indispensable word to those who proclaimed the Word of God in truth. To repent means to change not only our thinking but our actions. When we are saved, we are saved from our heathen desires and practices and called to live a life of holiness. This call to holiness comes very early in Peter’s first epistle in chapter 1:14-16 and continues to be stressed throughout his epistle.

The belief and behavior of holiness of which Peter speaks comes neither naturally (through our flesh) nor easily. Peter did not find it natural or easy either. While the concept of holiness is frequently taught in the Old Testament, Judaism (especially the scribes and Pharisees) distorted it until it became something entirely different. To many, the scribes and Pharisees, who saw themselves as holy, were the epitome of holiness. How shocking Jesus’ words must have been to those who first heard them:

“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:20).

"Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." Hebrews xii. 14.

{1} IN this text it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit to convey a chief truth of religion in a few words. It is this circumstance which makes it especially impressive; for the truth itself is declared in one form or other in every part of Scripture. It is told us again and again, that to make sinful creatures holy was the great end which our Lord had in view in taking upon Him our nature, and thus none but the holy will be accepted for His sake at the last day. The whole history of redemption, the covenant of mercy in all its parts and provisions, attests the necessity of holiness in order to salvation; as indeed even our natural conscience bears witness also. But in the text what is elsewhere implied in history, and enjoined by precept, is stated doctrinally, as a momentous and necessary fact, the result of some awful irreversible law in the nature of things, and the inscrutable determination of the Divine Will.

Now some one may ask, "Why is it that holiness is {2} a necessary qualification for our being received into heaven? why is it that the Bible enjoins upon us so strictly to love, fear, and obey God, to be just, honest, meek, pure in heart, forgiving, heavenly-minded, self-denying, humble, and resigned? Man is confessedly weak and corrupt; why then is he enjoined to be so religious, so unearthly? why is he required (in the strong language of Scripture) to become 'a new creature'? Since he is by nature what he is, would it not be an act of greater mercy in God to save him altogether without this holiness, which it is so difficult, yet (as it appears) so necessary for him to possess?"

Tonight welcome:

Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication. In the narrow sense, the term refers to an act of supplication or intercession directed towards a deity (a god), or a deified ancestor. More generally, prayer can also have the purpose of thanksgiving or praise, and in comparative religion is closely associated with more abstract forms of meditation and with charms or spells.[1]

Prayer can take a variety of forms: it can be part of a set liturgy or ritual, and it can be performed alone or in groups. Prayer may take the form of a hymn, incantation, formal creedal statement, or a spontaneous utterance in the praying person.

The act of prayer is attested in written sources as early as 5000 years ago. Today, most major religions involve prayer in one way or another; some ritualize the act, requiring a strict sequence of actions or placing a restriction on who is permitted to pray, while others teach that prayer may be practised spontaneously by anyone at any time.

Scientific studies regarding the use of prayer have mostly concentrated on its effect on the healing of sick or injured people. The efficacy of prayer in faith healing has been evaluated in numerous studies, with contradictory results.

88 WHAT ABOUT THE SCRIPTURE THAT STATES IF A RIGHTEOUS MAN TURNS

FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND STARTS SINNING HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

WILL BE FORGOTTEN? Ezekiel 3:20

“When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity,

he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be

remembered.”

Only the reasoning powers of the mind of Christ can unravel the mystery of our godliness,

so come let us reason together with Christ’s reasoning. (Eph. 3:3-4) The truth of the matter is

that there is only one righteous man, “Jesus Christ the righteous!” (1 John 2:1) This is why the

Scriptures refer to Jesus as “the Lord our righteousness.” (Jeremiah 23:6, 1 Cor. 1:30) Other

than he:

“There is none righteous no not one.” (Rom. 3:10)

For:

“There is not a just man upon the earth who doeth good

and sinneth not.” (Eccl. 7:20)

Therefore, people are not made righteous by the content of their character before or after

salvation. At salvation, the Lord becomes our righteousness for he is the only righteousness any

believer has, and he is the only one who cannot sin and thus turn from his righteousness. (1 John

3:9, 1 Cor. 1:30)

This Scriptures further states: “his righteousness which he hath done shall not

be remembered.” First of all, God help the man who wants the Lord to remember the works of

“righteousness which he hath done.” For we are saved:

“not by works of righteousness which we have

done, but according to his mercy he saved us.” (Titus 3:5)

For:

“ALL of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” (Isa. 64:6)

Therefore, pity the man whose righteousness the Lord does remember, because the Lord esteems

it as filth, in comparison! (Isa. 64:6) Since the Lord is our righteousness, believers should know

that our righteousness is forever! (Isa. 51:6)

Isaiah wrote that none of us are righteous. Therefore, the only way the born again could

possibly lose their salvation would be if Jesus Christ.

Welcome to our show we are going to pray for you immediately. We are going to take your prayers and petitions to the throne of grace tonight.

“I will be treated as holy. … Be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy” (Leviticus 10:3, 19:2). If this is the English translation of the very words of God, then isn’t it obvious, student of His Word, that we have a responsibility to discover what God says about holiness? But how does one go about a topical study of God’s teaching on this subject–or any subject? The first thing I do is go to a concordance and find where the word (holiness) and related words (e.g., sanctification, sanctify) are used in the Bible. Under what circumstances does God first introduce the word and the topic? What does He say after that? If I look up each occurrence of the word and study its context, then I will have God’s mind, His teaching, on the subject. This is inductive study. So let’s explore briefly how this is done and what you can learn for your life–what will help you to treat God as holy and to be holy yourself!
