Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the Power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness
We are to live by faith in The Gospel of Christ for this is where we can and should access the Authority AND Power of GOD. The Holy Blood of Christ allows us to stand before FATHER and live!
With this understanding, we can truly appreciate the Words of Jesus as He spoke in John chapter 3:
16 For God so Loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God.
The Blood of Christ is pure and Holy thus It sanctifies us and allows us to enter in The Holy of Holies in Heaven.
Jesus further spoke in John chapter 5:
24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in Him who sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into Life.”
The word everlasting means: without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be; without beginning; without end, never to cease.
Jesus again spoke in John chapter 6 concerning Holy Communion:
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has Eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
58 This is the bread which came down from Heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:
22 But now, as God’s Loving servants, you live in joyous freedom from the power of sin. So consider the benefits you now enjoy—you are brought deeper into the experience of true Holiness that ends with Eternal Life!
23 For sin’s meager wages is death, but God’s lavish gift is Life Eternal, found in your union with Our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
We must acknowledge every aspect of Jesus Christ as being Holy and as we do, we experience True Holiness.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 6:
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap Everlasting Life.
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
If we sow Holiness in our lives, we will reap Holiness in our lives!
Paul also wrote in 1 Timothy chapter 1:
13 Mercy kissed me, even though I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor of believers, and a scorner of what turned out to be True. I was ignorant and didn’t know what I was doing.
14 I was flooded with such incredible grace, like a river overflowing its banks, until I was full of faith and Love for Jesus, the Anointed One!
15 I can testify that the Word is True and deserves to be received by all, for Jesus Christ came into the world to bring sinners back to life—even me, the worst sinner of all!
16 Yet I was captured by grace, so that Jesus Christ could display through me the outpouring of His Spirit as a pattern to be seen for all those who would believe in Him for Eternal Life.
17 Because of this my praises rise to the King of all the universe Who is indestructible, invisible, and full of glory, the only God Who is worthy of the highest honors throughout all of time and throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!
We have all suffered from ignorance in the past, just as Paul did. However, FATHER’s grace, mercy, AND longsuffering has brought us to this point of understanding and embracing Holiness in our lives.
Peter understood the need to be Holy as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;
15 but as He Who called you is Holy, you also be Holy in all your conduct,
16 because it is written, “Be Holy, for I am Holy.”
If this wasn’t possible, we would not be commanded to walk in Holiness!
