Holiness – to be separate, to be distinct, to be separated for a special cause

Romans 6:11

1. WE HAVE A HOLY CALLING (13-21)

Implicit: being sober-minded
Explicit: set your hope fully…

Implicit: as obedient children
Explicit: do not be conformed to the passions/lusts of your life before Christ – when you did not know Him as the lover of your souls
Explicit: be Holy

“IF”: If you call God your Father “THEN”: conduct yourselves with reverence while you’re here!
2. WE HAVE A HOLY HUNGER (1:22–2:3)
  • a hunger for God’s FAMILY – the church
  • a hunger for God’s WORD – the Bible / the Gospel

The Church is a family; a body; a building; it is God’s plan and you are a part of it!

“God has revealed everything He wants to reveal, and everything that is good for me to know is in the Bible. If it is not in the Bible, I am content not to know it.” D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Grip God’s Word: Hear it; Read it; Study it; Memorize it; Meditate on it; Do it!

3. WE HAVE A HOPE-FUELD HOLINESS! (2:1-3)

Hope Hazards: malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, slander

Hope Helps us crave God’s Word and grow in Holiness.

 

See Matthew 5:6
