Knowing the Father's and Son's Holiness, So We Can Walk in Holiness

    As we continue our study of holiness I would like to share with you some scriptures to think on, scriptures that describe God’s holiness and the holiness of His Son Jesus Christ.

    In Exodus 15, Moses sings praise to the LORD after He "saved them out of the hand of the Egyptians;" look at how Moses describes God in these selected phrases:

“I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously!” (v.1b)

“Your right hand, O LORD, has become glorious in power…” (v.6)

“Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (v.11)

    Glorious means to be great, magnificent, and honourable. It means that what has been exhibited is worthy of receiving great amounts of glory and honour.

    God is glorious in power and glorious in holiness! His power and holiness are so magnificent, they are worthy of ALL honour, glory and praise! Consider this while you read Psalm 145:1-13.

“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power…” (Revelation 4:11)

In similar fashion, Jesus is also proclaimed worthy in Revelation 5:12:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honour and glory and blessing!”

    Jesus is described as “holy, innocent, undefiled, and separate from sinners” (Hebrews 7:26). He is further described as “He who is holy, He who is true” in Revelations 3:7a

    We are to be holy in all our conduct just as God is holy (1 Peter 1:15). Jesus left us an example to follow that we should follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21-24). So if we wear His name (“Christian”) we must always remember “he who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:6)

    Think on these things today! Determine to walk in holiness just as Jesus did, to be holy as God is holy! Praise God and give Him the glory He is SO worthy of!! 

"Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Give to the LORD glory and strength.
Give to the LORD the glory due HIs name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him.
Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!"
(1 Chronicles 16:28-29 NKJV)

You can do it! So can I!!
