Holiness
What is holiness? Is it just about being good, doing the right thing in the right situations?
This weekend General Bramwell Tillsley lead us in a wonderful uplifting of the Holy Spirit and what it meant to be holy in the eyes of God. General Tillsley has a way about him and a common sense that I think is matched by no one in explaining holiness. God has gifted him in a way, in which he can take the most complicated questions concerning holiness and make it seem so simple.
On Friday morning the General spoke of Abiding. Abiding in Christ Jesus, basically obeying Jesus. What an awesome outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Friday night was a awesome display of unity I believe between the cadets of the SFOT and the retired officers community. We met together being ages and years of service apart but had one common theme among us, the love we have the Jesus.
Holiness is being holy, being saved through and through. Holiness in its completeness can not be obtained I believe, but it is to be sought after on a hourly basis (at least in my case). God calls us to be holy, Leviticus 11:45 , God expects us to be holy.
Holiness is a hard idea to grapple with at least in my mind. Living every moment of the day, with the thoughts of God to make my decisions. What an awesome task at hand. God wants us to transform our minds to think like Him. To have thoughts, make decisions, and choose actions based on the glorification of our Lord.
I make mistakes everyday and sometimes they are mistakes that I don't realize and sometimes they are just moronic mistakes that I wish never happen but they do. But God calls us to be better, to live a life that is holy. Hebrews 12:14
General Tillsley taught a wonderful chorus today. I would like to share this with you.
Here I am so unworthy of the blood
Unworthy of the blood that sets me free
Here I am so unworthy of the blood
But yet it flowed for me.
Jesus died, God calls us to be holy. An easy equation in my mind. I write now and tell you that I love Jesus Christ supremely above all things.
