Holiness (separated unto God)

“Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”

Romans 12:1-2 TPT

Our life in Him, empowered by the Spirit, is our pleasing aroma poured out to Papa.   We are to be a peculiar people, different from the world around us, sold out to His holiness, bathed in His marvelous mercies. Our life, lived in His way is on the path of life and light. The command Jesus gave us to love one another and the Father above all else, leads us to call everyone to the path of light and life. Away from the lure of sin which looks like freedom but only brings the chains of death.   

Worship is that act of living for His glory by showing forth a grace filled life.   Walking in true freedom is not living in license doing whatever feels good in the natural.   True freedom comes when we live by the example of Jesus who was the perfect representation of the Father.   There is no burden in His footprints, just joy and the fulfillment of living in continuous worship as we walk out our journey.

Our journey has the same beginning, middle and end.  It’s who we worship every step of the way.  Jesus calls us home, to Papa God where we will dance and sing of His love forevermore.
