The Way of Holiness

Which way do you find yourself walking these days?  Are you fearful and indecisive about where you are going and finding yourself in the midst of trouble not known?  God is with you and if you give Him a chance, He will fulfill His purpose in you.  Where can you go from His Spirit, which way will you run?

Are you walking down a "lost highway" leading you nowhere?  God has a highway built just for you.  When you decide to walk with Jesus that highway will be there.  It's called the Way of Holiness.  The lost will not journey on it:  only the redeemed that walk in that Way.  It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

God demands that you be Holy and separate yourself from the way of the world; walking in a way which is worthy of the Holiness of Him.

Those that choose to follow Christ are destined to bear his image becoming the sons of God.  The marks of the passion, the wounds of the cross, have now become the marks of grace in the body of the risen and glorified Christ.  Galatians 2:20, Philippians 1:21, for me to live is Christ.

He is the only "pattern" we must follow.  Since because he lives His life in us, we too can:

Walk even as He walked  (John 2:6)

Do as He has done  (John 13:15)

Love as He has loved  (Ephesians 5:2)

Forgive as He forgave  (Colossians 3:13)

Have this mind which is also in Christ Jesus  (Philippians 2:5)

It is only because He became like us that we can become like Him.  "Be you therefore imitators of God, as beloved children."  (Ephesians 5:1)  In other words:

Get on the highway called the "Way of Holiness."
