Today we continue to look at Godliness by seeing God’s character. Today we focus on verse 15. “Be Holy as I am Holy”. Wow what a call on our life. Ok God you stepped over the limit now. How on earth is that possible? Answer you can’t. However God can and will through you. First lets look at what does the word holy mean. The idea of holiness is living a life of right choices or righteousness. The problem is that often we base righteousness on what we do. Righteousness should always be based on what God can do through you. Realize this you can’t make one right decision spiritually without God. That’s right; if you try you will end up a Pharisee. Someone who looks good spiritually on the outside, but inside is hollow. Obviously God has never made a wrong choice. Odds are if making right choices is based on God, you can never go wrong. Question is when we make choices are they “holy” or maybe another way to say it is, “Is this what God would have me do?” So how do you know what God would do? Three words, “READ THE BIBLE”.
Father today as I strive to be holy. I must admit that this is difficult. Help me to lean on you and not myself. Give me the determination to spend time reading the Bible so that I might know what you would do in any situation. Then as I discover it, help me to live it out.
