Holiness

Holiness is a debated subject these days. Mostly because liberals have long rejected holiness standards in favor of worldly lascivious trends. It is not just their rejection of holiness here, it is their adoption of sensual and sexually sent messages by the new worldly dress code they have adopted. Carnality has attacked holiness as if it was something man invented.

Holiness is certainly not for everyone. But it certainly is for God. Without holiness, God would not even be God.

Holiness defines God.

Holiness speaks of his flawless and impeccable character.

Holiness shows us that God has consecrated himself to be holy.

Speaking from this pure spiritual standard, God then tells us to be holy as he is holy.

Is there no standard of God's holiness?

Is God a liberal? Does he think of his own holiness as legalism or self-imposed bondage?

Is holiness a drag to God? Does this flawless and impeccable standard cause God to feel lonely or unwanted? Or does it elevate God to a place where he would never become a devil?

What will my holiness be?

Look at it like this: whatever has sin attached to it that man invented or man created for his lusts and his own pleasure: that God has shown he does not approve, elevate yourself away from these. Impose upon yourself a standard of holiness that is impeccable. To do this put on God's holiness standard. You can't go wrong here.

Holiness in a nutshell means there are some things God has chosen to stay away from and not be a partaker of. He sets himself aside and apart from all evil. This is why he is a holy God and separate from sinners. This establishes why he is holy and he loves holiness. It is self control and mastery over the flesh and the influences of the world. Holiness is a sign to God of our personal sanctification and that we have made a choice 100% with him in his righteousness. No regrets. No turning back. No going back to the wild olive tree from whence we came. And no more being controlled by worldly fashions, trends, and social rampage in personal levels of comfortable nakedness. Yes, holiness is about wrap up and letting God dress us. Adam and Eve submitted to this, should we not ask God to dress us? This will set us aside as a peculiar people.

Set aside, isn't this the same thing as sanctification?

If God has set himself aside unto holiness, and this is his own sanctification from all evil; would it not be very simple then to see that if we are ever to be holy as he is holy: there must be sanctification in our own heart.

Ok, let's set ourselves apart and aside for the purpose of God. This is sanctification. But, if we do not do this for the purpose of holiness, it is all a joke then to pretend we want holiness. This is why the jokers in the pulpits yelling against holiness standards are such fun. They really think God is impressed with their feigned words. Boy, will they be surprised on the way to the fire.

Holiness is God's will for all of us. It is out of the holiness of God that perfect love came forth for us. And it is only when we ask God with perfect love for the holiness standard he wants us to live, that we can approach God without fear. And without holiness NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD.

Here is what I envision on judgment day.

Many sinners, backsliders, come before the throne of God to be judged and sent to the lake of fire. But when they come they cannot look upon God in their sinful condition. So they will never see God. All they will see is a bright light and hear a voice. About like what that sinner experienced on the road to Damascus.

But for us who love holiness and no standard is to strong, we will see his face. Now that is worth all the holiness standards of the Bible. And so what if some of them are strict? Do you want to stay out of hell?  Do you want to see God's face? Then stop all this nonsense against holiness standards.

Sanctify yourself and set yourself aside and apart to the most pure flawless and impeccable life you can.

Is heaven worth all this?

You bet.

If you cannot say you love holiness, and live it: then do not fake yourself out and think you will see God.  All such jokers will end you with the greatest joker of all. And deserve ever minute of an eternity in the fires of hell torment. I said so!

  1. Greetings in Jesus wonderful name.

    Bishop your post has come as confirmation to my heart and mind. I have been chewing on holiness and what it is. I believe holiness is not a thing of merit. Holiness is the way through the veil. For without holiness no person shall see the LORD (Hebrews 12:14).

    As you posted "Be ye holy!" 1 Peter 1:15-16

    Thank you Lord Jesus for truth being posted.

  2. You got it. The HP could not go through the vail until he had been made holy. Only a holiness man got to go back there. Many do not get it. But you got it. Your eyes are open.
