Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | November 17, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. – 1 Peter 1:14-16

Beloved always remember knowledge is power. The Bible says God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Such people are destroyed here and hereafter. You shall not be destroyed in Jesus name. So take advantage of the knowledge the Bible reveals about the person of God. See it yourself.

1Pe 1:14-16 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Beloved please be mindful of this all important fact. Every information provided in the Bible is for a purpose. So see as the scriptures severally affirmed this truth about the nature and attributes of God, your loving Father in heaven.

Lev 11:44-45 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Lev 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.

Lev 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Exodus 15:11 Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

1Sa 2:2 There is none holy as the Lord:for there is none beside thee:neither is there any rock like our God.

Psa 145:17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways,and holy in all his works.

Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Beloved the singular reason why the Bible reveals God over and over as holy is to drum it to the hearing of anyone and everyone that desires relationship with Him, must be holy and walk with Him in biblical holiness.

Because this is so, you in particular must be biblically holy to walk with God here and hereafter.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

It is not only the people associating with God, even everything used in the service of God, also must be holy and consecrated to Him in holiness. See it yourself.

Exo 28:36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, Holiness to the Lord.

1Ch 16:29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name:bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Zch 14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
Holiness unto the Lord;and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

Beloved if your relationship with God must continue for all eternity. Then biblical holiness for you is compulsory. Receive grace to have it and walk in it, till you see Him.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Dearly Beloved, Jesus Christ our Lord and savior is the express image of the Father.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

So if the Bible reveals God the Father to be holy, then our Lord must be replica of Him. The Bible reveals this to be so. See it yourself.

Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Act 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

Act 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Dearly beloved, if our Lord is holy, then His brethren of all ages and you in particular must be holy.

Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Heb 3:1 holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

In the same token, as God the Father calls His children to holiness, so also the brethren or followers of Christ are called with holy calling.

2Ti 1:8-9 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

So as one of His obedient followers, you must access and sustain your relationship with Him now and forever with biblical holiness. Don’t ever ever forget.

1Pe 1:14-16 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Friend, after the dawning rapture, the raptured saints shall live forever with Him in heaven not accessible to any defiled person, but only those that are biblically holy.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Friend, it then means anyone and everyone that shall be part of the dawning rapture must not be defiled but holy.

Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

1Pe 1:14-16 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

No wonder the Bible reveals that without holiness, seeing God is a delusion. You shall see Him and because of this, be biblically holy.

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
