"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy."
1 PETER 1:15-16
The world and its many visions create a distorted view of life - and its pursuit of happiness. The Lord says we are to pursue Holiness. In this search for Holiness - you create a oneness with the Lord allowing your body, mind and spirit to be sanctified by Jesus Christ.
In such pursuits and achievements of Holiness - Happiness is found - Heavenly peace and divine love will pour from you. This gift is from the Lord - Accept Jesus and his pure Spirit of heavenly virtues and be Holy as the Lord created us to be.
Jesus came to show us how to live for God. He showed us how to live as Saints of the Most High God for the purpose of fulfilling his will. We are called specifically to be Holy because he is Holy. For The Holy Spirit to dwell in you - you must turn from the sinful misguided ways of the world and turn to Jesus in all things. He is Holy - you are not Holy without Christ being born again from within you.
Jesus removed the barrier between us and God. To be Holy is not to be complacent. To be Holy is not to mutter in displeasure. To be Holy is not to grumble about a circumstance. To be Holy is to know that God has placed you where you are with intention. To be Holy is to be loving. To be Holy is to follow Jesus.
Holiness is achieved through Jesus Christ - by accepting his truth, allowing his life to be lived in you through The Holy Spirit and living purposely for God with the intention of allowing his love to be seen in you through loving others.
