Holiness And The Vision For The Lost

Written by Brother Scott in Activities and Actions,Christian Living,Church,Ministry

One of the greatest misconceptions is that many feel that living a Holy Life is all there is to being a Christian. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.

Living a Holy Life as God requires is only part of the parcel. Jesus put it in perspective when He appeared to his disciples that were hiding in a locked room

John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Part of being Holiness is having a vision to see the lost be saved. If we miss this, we have missed the reason Christ came.

Brother Scott

I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior in march of 1984. I was in the Navy at this time. It became my greatest desire to draw closer to God. Since that day I have been led by God's Spirit and the scriptures to live a life of Holiness. Holiness is not a bunch of rules, but rather it is the conviction and desire that I am pleasing to God in my life. These convictions are then what set the boundaries of my conduct and actions in life.

PRACTICAL HOLINESS, or more appropriately “PERSONAL HOLINESS” is where we walk our life as close to God as we are called by God to walk. This applies first internally, then externally.

Here are a few observations that should be noted.

An individual’s internal holiness will affect their external lifestyle.
External holiness is worthless without an internal experience of holiness. We realize that Internal issues are more important than externals and ought to have the pre-eminence in our teaching.
The preeminence of internal holiness has never negated the importance of external holiness.
External Holiness is simply the manifestation of the inward experience.

This is why God instructs us to “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
