Revival Series: His Plan Is Holy

God’s plan for His people is holy. Note these steps!

A.      The Plea—2 Corinthians 6:17. “Come out” and be separate, or live different than sinners and the world.

2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV)  Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

B.      The Purging—2 Corinthians 7:1. Notice here, “cleanse self” from all filthiness of the flesh.

   2 Corinthians 7:1 (NKJV)  1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God

C     The Plan—1 John 2:15–17. Loving and taking part in the world. The “world” means the pleasures and the sins of the world.

1 John 2:15–17 (NKJV)   15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

E.      The Purity—Hebrews 12:14. Necessary to live a holy life if we expect to see God.

Hebrews 12:14 (NKJV)  Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

F.       The Persistence—1 Timothy 5:22. Abstain from all the appearance of evil and sin.

1 Timothy 5:22 (NKJV) Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.

G.     The Practice—1 Thessalonians 5:22. Keep THYSELF pure!

1 Thessalonians 5:22 (NKJV) Abstain from every form of evil.

G.   The Promise—Matthew 5:8. Only the pure in heart will see God. If we can’t live pure now, we would feel out of place in heaven.

Matthew 5:8 (NKJV) Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Since God is holy, all Christians should live a holy life. Holy in: (1) Our Conduct—Galatians 5:16; (2) Holy in our Character—1 Corinthians 9:27; and (3) Holy in our Conversation—1 Peter 1:15–16. Since God is holy HE DEMANDS THAT WE LIVE HOLY!
