--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week we started a 3-week series on Thankfulness.
Let’s turn to our key scripture.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM THANKFUL GOD DOES NOT LEAVE US WHERE HE FOUND US.
I was the prodigal son, raised in the church, experienced the power of God, the love of God, and the joy of God.
Yet, I left and walked into the filth of the world and the lusts of my own heart.
I did not and do not deserve God’s favor, yet he pulled me out of hell I made for myself.
But more than that, he did not leave me where he found me.
Like the story of the prodigal son, he washed me and is still washing me clean with His Word and by His Spirit.
I am not where I will be but this I know
I am not where I was!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Cor 6:
I know Holiness is not a popular message in our culture today but, I am thankful that God did not leave me in my own personal hell.
God is not a killjoy but rather He desires to give you
Life, Joy, and Beauty
Holiness is not about stopping you from having fun but, rather it is about giving you a Life full of joy and beauty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I want to share with you 4 truths about holiness.
Holiness is Promised
And then -
God chose you, and he chose you to be Holy, to look like Jesus.
Not only did he choose you to be Holy but He gave you the Holy Spirit winch is your down payment to the promise of holiness.
The Holy Spirit is God’s guarantee to you, that are his that You will be Holy.
This promise is unbreakable by God and therefore already refers to you as Holy.
This promise of Holiness is based on what Jesus has done for you and what the Holy Spirit is doing in you.
God Promises to finish what he started.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only is Holiness promised but.......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holiness is Personal
Phil 2:12
While holiness is promised, it is also our responsibility to work towards it.
Paul tells us up front that it is hard work and not easy.
We must be willing to work at living Holy.
We must be willing to cut ties with our past life.
The Holy Spirit will reveal to us what displeases God, and then we must be willing to leave it.
We have to run from temptations rather, than flirting with them.
We must strive for a deeper love for Jesus.
Once we love Jesus more than we love sin, sin will disappear.
As our love for Jesus grows our love for the sinful will decrease.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holiness is Promised and Holiness is Personal and....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Holy Spirit is Powerfully Working Through Us
Yes God wants us to work hard towards holiness but, that work is not without His help.
God is working in us, giving us the desire and power to live Holy.
You see, God has given us everything we need to live this life in a way that pleases Him.
God has given us everything we need to share in His divine nature and escape the corruption of the world.
He has given us His Holy Spirit, who is working His desire and power through us.
If we will only submit to the Holy Spirit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holiness is Proof of our salvation.
2 cor
Gal 5:
A fruit tree is known by the fruit it produces.
The faithful are known by the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
If a person looked at your life both public and private would they see the Holy Spirit or would they see you?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The enemy loves to use our past to condemn us.
Holiness acts as sign posts in our lives that point to the acceptance and love God has for us.
When the enemy brings fear and condemnation, we can look back at our lives and see, how much God has done in and through us.
How much have you been changed?
How different are you today than you were before you knew Jesus as Lord?
He is not done with you yet.
While holiness is hard work and at times a real struggle, be confident that God will do all it takes to make us look like Jesus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM THANKFUL GOD DOES NOT LEAVE US WHERE HE FOUND US.
HOLINESS IS PROMISED
HOLINESS IS PERSONAL
HOLINESS IS PROPELLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US
HOLINESS IS PROOF OF GOD WORKING IN AND THROUGH US.
