Holiness is not a burden; it is a lifestyle that reflects the nature of God. We serve a holy God, and He expects His children to be holy in all their conduct. Holiness is what separates us from the world and makes us fit for the Master's use. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

Many people think holiness is about following a set of rigid rules. But true holiness comes from a heart that loves God so much that it hates what He hates. It is a desire to be pure in thought, word, and deed. It is the result of the Holy Spirit working in us to crucify the flesh and its lusts.

There is a beauty that comes with holiness. It is an inner radiance that is far more attractive than any physical adornment. A holy person carries the presence of God, and that presence commands respect and brings favor. Holiness also brings boldness. The righteous are as bold as a lion because they have nothing to hide.

Living a holy life also protects you from the traps of the enemy. Sin is a door that gives the devil access to your life, but holiness is a wall that keeps him out. When you walk in purity, you are walking in the light, and the darkness cannot overcome you. You have the confidence that God hears your prayers and is on your side.

Beloved, don't compromise your standards to fit in with the world. Be bold in your walk with God. Let your life be a testimony of His transforming power. As you pursue holiness, you will experience the fullness of God's blessings and the peace that surpasses all understanding.


King James Version

1 Peter 1:13-16

RCCG Hymn

All to Jesus I surrender

  1. All to Jesus I surrender,
    All to Him I freely give;
    I will ever love and trust Him,
    In His presence daily live.

    2. I surrender all,
    I surrender all;
    All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
    I surrender all.


  2. All to Jesus I surrender.
    Humbly at His feet I bow;
    Woridly pleasures all forsaken.
    Take me, Jesus, take me now.
  3. All to Jesus I surrender.
    Lord, I give myself to Thee;
    Fill me with Thy love and power.
    Let Thy blessing fall on me.
  4. All to Jesus I surrender.
    Now I feel the sacred flame;
    O the joy of full salvadon!
    Glory, glory to His name!
