HOLINESS...
Yes we can be holy as he is holy...
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Because it is written, Be ye holy for i am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16
This is who we are in Christ Jesus. Believe it.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
We need to be used to God driving our life, to the sense and subtlety of His voice. It needs to be who we are.
"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
We will not reach the highest goal in this life, but we can be in Christ Jesus our whole life, and He in us. We can live for Him and pursue or follow after Him with the intent of catching Him. Our lives can be one that relentlessly pursues after Him.
"My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me." Psalm 63:8
"The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness." Proverbs 15:9
"He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness and honour." Proverbs 21:21
"And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." Matthew 10:38
Follow Jesus and be Holy as he is holy, know him intimately...How? Well, you need to read the greatest Book ever written and pray (Colossians 4:2-6) to the one true God almighty, our Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit and do what he says. Amen. We need to become one with him, to live move and have our being in him (Acts 17:28)...amen.
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." James 1:22
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." John 17:3
