A Holy Nation

There are many people who profess to be Christians, they call themselves Christians but when you talk about holiness, obedience to Jesus Christ, then they tell you that it is not possible. They are proving themselves to NOT be CHILDREN OF GOD.

I read from 1Peter1:14”As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15but like the Holy One who called you, BE HOLY yourselves also in all your behavior; 16because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”

17And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay upon earth;”

We need to conduct ourselves in the fear of God so that we walk in utter righteousness. We are ambassadors for Jesus Christ. We are A HOLY NATION, called to His purpose and we have to live as holy people amongst a wicked generation,

1Peter2:9 “But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellence of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

:11”Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.12Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may on account of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.”

The nation of God is a holy nation, the people of God is a holy people. And they are known by their deeds, they are known to be holy and obedient to Jesus Christ. Dear friend, are you part of the HOLY NATION, have you overcome the flesh? Are you living in obedience to Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.
