How to Live Holy:

"Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11).

3.      Live Holy by reflecting on God’s Holiness

4.      Live holy by fearing God’s just judgment

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

5.      Live holy by remembering the cost paid to purchase your salvation

“GOd’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

6.      Live holy by obeying the truth of God’s Word

7.  Live holy by loving others with a pure heart
