Holiness in the Lord


Holy in heart

1 Thessalonians 3:13  

May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Holy in our calling

2 Timothy 1:9  

Who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

Holy in our indwelling

2 Timothy 1:14  

Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

Holy in our conversations

2 Peter 3:11  

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

1 Peter 1:17  

Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.

He Rested

 “He rested on the seventh day.”  Exodus 20:11, The Message

Read what Jesus did during the last Sabbath of his life. Start in the Gospel of Matthew. Didn’t find anything? Try Mark…. Nothing there either?  Strange. What about Luke... Not a word about it? Well, try John. Surely John mentions the Sabbath. He doesn’t?

No reference? Hamm. Looks like Jesus was quiet that day….

“You mean with one week left to live, Jesus observed the Sabbath?” As far as we can tell.
