“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’-Matthew 25:23

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God’-Matthew 5:8

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”.-Joshua 24:15

We are all called to it, but what does it mean to live a Holy Life?

A life filled with Worship and Praise for God.  A life filled with Thanksgiving for all God has done for us, and for His Forgiveness.  A life of Prayer.  Time spent reading God’s Word. Obedience.  Putting God First.  Sharing the Good News of Christ.  Living out the Holy Spirit’s Gifts and Sharing them with others.  Sharing our Faith, even when it’s hard or costs us.  Loving God with our whole heart and soul, and Loving each other!

They are all part of a Holy Life.  We just need to live it ?

Thank you Jesus for giving us the ability and chance to live a Holy Life!.

A friend sent me this, it was so good I just had to share 🙂

“Sometimes words are SO twisted by the world, that what they represent even appears to protect evil. Truth needs to stand up and shine our Lord’s Light upon them to be able to see clearly. “Sanctuary” appears many times in the Bible and every time it is used refers to a place. Sanctuary comes from the combination of the Latin word “Santus” and the suffix “-ary”. Sanctus refers to something that has been set apart from all other things; in religion, it applies to something that has been set apart for the express use or service to Jehovah God. The suffix “-ary” denotes something connected intimately to the word it modifies, and it especially refers to a place.

The apostle Paul tells us that: “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He IS Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshipped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.” (Acts 17:24-25) This is the mistake that was made and clarified about “sanctuaries” under the New Testament. SO, where does God dwell?

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)

“Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:20-22) Truly, we are “living stones” that are built upon The Rock of Jesus Christ. Soon, the day IS coming when ALL of these things will pass away and God will dwell with us. On that day, EVERYTHING will be holy,

ALL that exists will be the Sanctuary of God. Angels and mankind will cry out in a glorious chorus of praise and worship to their Creator and King: “Holy, Holy, Holy IS the Lord God Almighty!!” Until that day, however, Christians are the spiritual house which is being built. We are the Sanctuary of God on earth. Let us sing of that day when we will be with God!! Amen!!

My thoughts and prayers are that you continually Prepare and Watch for the day that IS coming. That you are the spiritual house which is being built, and share the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with others to increase the Sanctuary of God. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.”
