Got permission from another great blogger, Ja Cook, to allow me to share one of his post.
What does it mean to be holy? We throw that word around a lot in the Christian culture. But, do we really understand what it means to BE holy. The word “holiness” means “to be set apart for a divine task.” That being the case, it is impossible to be holy without fulfilling our purpose.
James 2:20 (TLB) - …When will you ever learn that “believing” is useless without doing what God wants you to? Faith that does not result in good deeds is not real faith.
What is our purpose? Jesus laid it out in Matthew 28:19-20 when he laid out the Great Commission. Our purpose is to reach the lost and grow the Kingdom. How can we be holy without doing what we have been set apart to do?
Fact: If you are not reaching other people for God then you are unholy. You can be as righteous as you please…but unless you do what God has created you to do, you will always be unholy. God has called us to be holy because He is holy. Holiness must be practiced. It requires action. If you aren’t actively living out your purpose, then your faith don’t mean squat. Get holy…change lives…live on purpose.
