(Wk 4 / HABITS OF HOLINESS)
BIG IDEA... It's not What We Do that determines Who We Are - it's WHO WE ARE that determines WHAT WE DO!
A Look At What HABITS OF HOLINESS Look Like Spiritually...
Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as LIVING SACRIFICES, HOLY and PLEASING TO GOD - this is your SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP! Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOU MIND. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.
TRANSFORMATION... 'do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world - but be TRANSFORMED!'
-Pursuing Holiness is a Pluralistic Process!
PRESENTATION... '...offer your bodies as living sacrifices...'
-Until you make yourself AVAILABLE - you are not USABLE!
CONSECRATION... '...by the renewing of your mind!'
-Holiness requires DAILY RENEWAL - it's a byproduct of a Close Walk With God - DAILY!
Remember... OBEDIENCE IS NOT AN OPTION IN PURSUING HOLINESS!
WHY MUST I BE HOLY?
BECAUSE GOD SAID SO. (Period!)
1 Peter 1:14-16... "BE HOLY - BECAUSE I AM HOLY!"
See you Sunday at COC as we wrap up the PURSUIT OF HOLINESS! (Maricopa Wells Middle Schoool / 9a & 10:45a)
