TEXTS: Luke 1: 35; John 4:34; 1Peter 2:21-22.
AIM: To understand the source of holiness and its manifestation through Christ to man
INTRODUCTION:
Holiness is an attribute of God and the ordained code for Christian living. It is purity,
moral and ethical wholeness or perfection. Being one with God, Jesus was the
personification of holiness and He reinforced God’s demands for holiness by insisting
that His disciples have a higher quality and degree of righteousness than that of the
Pharisees and the Scribes (Matt. 5: 20). How then can we learn from the obedience of
Christ and apply the same as His followers of Christ in order to make a difference in the
world?
STUDY GUIDE/QUESTIONS:
1. Who is the source of holiness and how do we as believers show it to the World?
Lev. 19: 2; Luke 1: 35; 2Cor. 5: 21; Heb. 7: 26-27
2. How did Jesus demonstrate His holiness while He was physically on earth?
Matt. 4: 4-11; John 4:34; 5:20; 1 Pet. 2: 21-22
3. From your social experience, mention some of the ways ‘Christians’ display unholy
behaviour and attitudes.
4. With reference to 1 Pet. 1: 15-16 how should the Christians stay away from unholy
practices? 1Cor 5:9; 6:14-18; 10:21; 2 Tim. 4: 2-5.
CONCLUSION: To be pure means to be single-minded like a shining light (Eph. 5: 8)-free
from the civil war of a divided self, being free from falsehood, hypocrisy, or pretence.
Christians are called upon to obey God’s word in its totality by living pure lives that set
standards above the ungodly world’s standards.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: A Holy life identifies us with Christ
