Holiness (Part One)

 "Holiness is likeness to God, to Him Who is the Holy One of Israel, to Him Whom they laud in Heaven as "Holy, holy, holy" (Rev. 4:8). He who would know holiness must understand sin; and he who would see sin as God sees it, and think of it as God does, must look at the cross and grave of the Son of God, must know the meaning of Gethsemane and Golgotha." --H. Bonar

'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;' (Titus 2:12).

'Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. ' (2 Peter 3:14).

 'And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. ' (Eph. 5:11).

'But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.' (Rom. 13:14).

'Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; ' (1 Peter 2:11).

"But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye 

holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is 

written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."

1 Peter 1:15-16
