Holiness and Our Wills
We know we need:
conviction and commitment
perseverance and discipline.
to be holy.
Our will ultimately makes each individual choice of whether we will sin or obey.
Why do our wills make the choices that they do?
How do we bring our wills into submission and obedience?
Let’s start with the definition of heart that we already looked at already:
The heart denotes all the faculties of the soul as they work together in doing good or evil - the mind, the emotions, the conscience, and the will.
God gave us these in our soul.
But the following happened at the fall.
Our reason was darkened ()
Our desires were entangled ()
Our wills were perverted ()
Eph
To reverse this we:
Renew our minds ()
Set our affections on things above ()
Submit our wills to God ()
Mind - emotion - will all work together in the perfect original design.
With the fall, these things started to work against each other.
NOTE: This is how Bridges is going to separate the soul of man.
Not everyone will agree with this.
What forces attack us to distort our will?
Satan and the world system
And our own will.
It is why we must be on guard with what we allow to enter our mind and what we allow to influence our emotions.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTCUT TO HOLINESS THAT BYPASSES OR GIVES LITTLE PRIORITY TO A CONSISTENT INTAKE OF THE BIBLE.
sorry for the all caps
Let’s digest proverbs 2:1-12 for a second.
Draw a box around the commanding term and then a circle around what it is predicated to.
A line to connect them.
we have got to guard our desires and constantly be apply the word of God to them.
We have to know where our weakness are and take preventative actions.
That is guarding the rear.
But we need to attack on the offense as well.
Defense and offense is needed
Set your affection on things above.

HOW do you do this?
Delight yourselves in the law of God.

Have you ever determined to get up early in the morning or determined to exercise or have been forced to do both?
It takes a bit.
Holiness and Faith
Too often we limit holiness to a separation from impurity.
In a broader sense, holiness is obedience to the will of God in whatever God directs.
Holiness may require deliberate sacrifice and even exposure to danger.
Obedience to the revealed will of God is a step of faith.
The old testament used the terms interchangeably.
Heb
Often when we see we are to something in God’s word - either positive action or negative avoidance - it takes FAITH.
Let us consider Fame, Fortune, and Happiness
Be a servant not the one clamoring for fame.
Ill KL “do people make money at instagram” then why do they do it.

Do not put hope in riches
Do not put hope
Do not put hope in riches
Noah may have exhibited the greatest example of faith when he labored for 140 years.
A. left his land to go to a land God would show him.
He didn’t even take the time to check TripAdvisor for good hotels in Israel.
Our life and our faith will not make sense in the world’s eyes.
