Holiness - This is a Christian's life to follow the principles of the word of God after admitting and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior in your life. Living a life of holiness is possible, because God created a man and in him he was made optional for making a decision. That is why Jesus in his teaching, he used the metaphor of a tree to show one can freely live a godly life or the life of sin. " Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for by its fruit the tree is known". Matthew 12:33.
To be Holy is God's command to us.
This is what God told Moses, "Speak to the whole assembly of Israel and the children, and tell them, shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy". Leviticus 19: 2.
To be holy, is to please God. "Saints on Earth is the best, These are my delight". Psalm 16: 3. Our Lord Jesus Christ emphasized this point by saying, "And you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect". Matthew 5:48 .
Things to consider .
1.Learn the word of God.
"And ye shall know the truth (Word) and the truth shall make you free. So if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed". John 8:32. That really free you from sin, you will not feel the judgments. "Dear friends, our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God" 1John 3:21.
2. Believing as the word says.
"And a promise being left of entering into his rest (heaven), and any of you should seem to come short. For truly, we also have good news preached as well as unto them. But the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into his rest, as he said". Hebrews 4: 1-3.
3 . Doing according to what word says.
"Jesus answered and said unto them, If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him; We will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me, not keep my words; and the word you hear is not mine, but the Father who sent me". John 14:23:24. "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word". Psalm 19: 9
4. Putting the word in heart .
5. Praying every day .
When we pray, God gives us power to overcome all temptations. "I can do everything through him who gives me strength". Philippians 4:23. "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation, the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak". Matthew 26:41.
