Prepare for Jesus Christ's Return!

To Be Holy - Active or Passive?


Listen Later

Scripture declares, Those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:8). This raises a vital question for every believer: Do you live in the flesh, or do you live in Christ each day of your life? While our natural tendency is to live according to the flesh, God has given us His eternal life so that we may learn to walk by the Spirit and live Christ continually.

The apostles consistently exhort believers to be active in their pursuit of God: pursue holiness, perfect holiness, exercise unto godliness, train to live righteously and godly, and do not love the world. Holiness is not passive, it requires intentional cooperation with the Spirit.

This episode challenges you to move from passive belief to active spiritual living, learning to live Christ daily so that your life becomes well-pleasing to God.
 In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Why living in the flesh cannot please God

  • The difference between passive belief and active pursuit

  • How to walk by the Spirit to live Christ daily

  • Why Scripture calls believers to train and exercise spiritually

  • How active holiness leads to a life well-pleasing to God
