Living Distinctly Holy for God's Glory

WEBVTT

00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:02.688
Coming up on Renewed Mindsets.

00:00:02.688 --> 00:00:05.245
Holy whiskers.

00:00:05.245 --> 00:00:06.926
Holy birthday cake.

00:00:06.926 --> 00:00:08.814
Holy headache.

00:00:08.814 --> 00:00:10.585
Holy ball and chain.

00:00:10.585 --> 00:00:12.506
Holy triple feature.

00:00:12.506 --> 00:00:13.986
Holy slip disc.

00:00:13.986 --> 00:00:16.748
That's a lot of holy when none of it's real.

00:00:16.748 --> 00:00:18.143
What is holiness?

00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:19.307
Who can be holy?

00:00:19.307 --> 00:00:20.463
Can you be holy?

00:00:20.463 --> 00:00:21.707
If only God is holy?

00:00:21.707 --> 00:00:23.504
Holy guacamole.

00:00:23.504 --> 00:00:24.728
We got a lot to talk about.

00:00:24.728 --> 00:00:39.280
Let's go, boys.

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.331
Hey, welcome to Renewed Mindsets, where we study the basics of the faith through the lens of our middle-aged experiences.

00:00:44.331 --> 00:00:45.372
I'm Rick.

00:00:45.372 --> 00:00:56.773
Welcome to the show where I help you, gen Xers and Millennials, navigate spiritually through a world that looks nothing like we expected back, when cars were square and mullets were totally awesome.

00:00:56.773 --> 00:00:58.887
I am so glad you're here.

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:07.254
Holy, holy, holy, and I want to see you.

00:01:11.881 --> 00:01:15.031
That was a clip from a song Open the Eyes of my Heart by Floodgate.

00:01:15.031 --> 00:01:18.390
Who does the intro music for this podcast?

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:25.108
I'm going to play that entire song for you at the end, but it leads us into what I want to talk about today.

00:01:25.108 --> 00:01:29.123
Holiness, you know what does it mean to be holy?

00:01:29.123 --> 00:01:43.707
In 1 Peter, chapter 1, peter writes to the believers therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:01:43.707 --> 00:01:54.733
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but, like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.

00:01:54.733 --> 00:02:00.451
Because it is written, you shall be holy, for I am holy.

00:02:00.451 --> 00:02:01.661
Now.

00:02:01.661 --> 00:02:08.454
Peter's quoting from Leviticus, there specifically chapter 11, 44 and chapter 19, 2.

00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:11.304
So let's look at God's holiness.

00:02:11.304 --> 00:02:14.370
What does it mean that God is holy?

00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:20.406
Now, you can find that in passages like from 1 Samuel 2, 2 and Isaiah 6, 3.

00:02:20.406 --> 00:02:27.716
Those are just two of so many examples of passages about God's holiness.

00:02:27.716 --> 00:02:31.751
Now, another way to say it is absolute perfection.

00:02:31.751 --> 00:02:38.953
God is unlike any other and his holiness is the essence of that otherness.

00:02:38.953 --> 00:02:48.729
His very being is completely absent of even a trace of sin James 1.13 and Hebrews 6.18.

00:02:48.729 --> 00:02:57.692
He is high above any other and no one can compare to him Psalm 45 or 40, verse 5.

00:02:57.692 --> 00:03:02.611
God's holiness pervades his entire being and shapes all his attributes.

00:03:02.611 --> 00:03:06.006
His love is a holy love.

00:03:06.006 --> 00:03:08.973
His mercy is a holy mercy.

00:03:08.973 --> 00:03:14.026
Even his anger and wrath are holy anger and holy wrath.

00:03:14.026 --> 00:03:23.128
These concepts are difficult for humans to grasp, just as God is difficult for us to understand in his entirety.

00:03:23.128 --> 00:03:26.694
But what does it mean for us to be holy?

00:03:26.694 --> 00:03:39.350
When God told Israel to be holy in Leviticus 11 and 19, he was instructing them to be distinct from the other nations by giving them specific regulations to govern their lives.

00:03:39.350 --> 00:03:46.670
Israel is God's chosen nation and God has set them apart from all the other people groups.

00:03:46.670 --> 00:03:58.391
They're his special people and consequently, they were given standards that God wanted them to live by, so that the world would know that they belonged to him.

00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:07.925
And when Peter repeats the Lord's words in 1 Peter 1.16, he's talking specifically to believers.

00:04:07.925 --> 00:04:12.908
As believers, we need to be set apart from the world.

00:04:12.908 --> 00:04:19.512
Unto the Lord, we need to be living by God's standards, not the world's.

00:04:19.512 --> 00:04:27.076
God isn't calling us to be perfect, but he is calling us to be distinct from the world.

00:04:27.076 --> 00:04:33.315
1 Peter 2.9.

00:04:33.315 --> 00:04:39.778
Now, in that it describes believers as a holy nation, it's a fact.

00:04:39.778 --> 00:04:40.521
We're separated from the world.

00:04:40.521 --> 00:04:48.973
We need to live out that reality in our day-to-day lives, which Peter tells us how to do in 1 Peter 1, verses 13-16.

00:04:48.973 --> 00:04:51.608
It's a call to holy living.

00:04:51.608 --> 00:04:56.670
So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control.

00:04:56.670 --> 00:05:02.829
Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

00:05:02.829 --> 00:05:24.033
So you must live as God's obedient children.

00:05:27.735 --> 00:05:30.617
Finally, we get to the point.

00:05:30.617 --> 00:05:33.197
How can we become holy?

00:05:33.197 --> 00:05:43.348
Holiness only results from a right relationship with God, by believing in Christ Jesus as Savior, by accepting His gift of eternal life.

00:05:43.348 --> 00:05:50.627
If we haven't placed our faith in God's Son alone to save us from our sins, then our pursuit of holiness is in vain.

00:05:50.627 --> 00:05:54.682
So we first have to make sure that we're born-again believers.

00:05:54.682 --> 00:06:06.973
Now we've discussed being born-again here, on episodes 10 and 11 specifically, and you could also, and you need to read John, chapter 3.

00:06:06.973 --> 00:06:16.682
If we truly are believers, then we recognize that our position in Christ automatically sets us apart from the world.

00:06:17.803 --> 00:06:18.846
1 Peter 2.9.

00:06:18.846 --> 00:06:23.153
I mean, after all, we have a relationship with the living God.

00:06:23.153 --> 00:06:35.632
Then we must daily live a set-apart life, not trying to blend in with the world, but instead trying to live according to God's Word as we study the Bible and grow in it.

00:06:35.632 --> 00:06:46.567
So all that brings me to the question is being holy even possible, since only God is holy?

00:06:46.567 --> 00:06:55.850
Huh, holiness is not only a possibility for the Christian, holiness is a requirement.

00:06:55.850 --> 00:07:00.000
Without holiness, no one will see the Lord.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.464
That's in Hebrews 12, 14.

00:07:02.464 --> 00:07:17.271
The difference between God and us is that he is inherently holy, while we only become holy in a relationship with Christ and we only increase in practical holiness as we mature spiritually.

00:07:18.863 --> 00:07:34.653
Now the New Testament emphasizes that pursuit of holiness and the final attainment of holiness in the world, to come Now to be holy means that we're, first of all, we're set apart for honorable use.

00:07:34.653 --> 00:07:43.564
You know, at once in our life we are foolish and we're disobedient, and we were led astray and we were slaves to various passions and pleasures.

00:07:43.564 --> 00:07:45.807
And we were led astray and we were slaves to various passions and pleasures.

00:07:45.807 --> 00:08:04.252
And then God, our Savior, saved us, not because of the things that we did, not by our works, even if they're done in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.

00:08:04.252 --> 00:08:06.387
That's Titus 3, 3-5.

00:08:06.387 --> 00:08:10.649
And 1 Corinthians 6-11.

00:08:10.649 --> 00:08:17.172
The Lord took the initiative to pull us out of our former lifestyle.

00:08:17.172 --> 00:08:23.264
He saved us, he cleansed us and he set us apart for righteousness.

00:08:23.264 --> 00:08:32.350
If we have believed in Christ for salvation, we've been washed by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit and set apart from the world for godliness.

00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:34.807
That's Romans 12 too.

00:08:34.807 --> 00:08:36.703
We know that here on.

00:08:36.703 --> 00:08:44.852
Renewed Mindsets Don't be conformed, but transform by the renewing of your mind.

00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.003
The pursuit of holiness doesn't end when we come to Christ, though that's just the beginning.

00:08:52.003 --> 00:09:03.301
There is a positional holiness that we inherit at that regeneration point and a practical holiness that we have to pursue.

00:09:03.301 --> 00:09:17.956
God expects us to cultivate a lifestyle of holiness and commands us to cleanse ourselves of all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

00:09:17.956 --> 00:09:20.519
2 Corinthians 7 and 1.

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:28.119
Bringing holiness to perfection means that we should be increasing our spiritual fruitfulness every day.

00:09:28.119 --> 00:09:52.615
We need to consider ourselves dead to sin, refusing to revert back to our former lifestyles, and when we do this we cleanse ourselves from what is dishonorable and we become vessels that God can use for honorable use, to be set apart as holy, useful to the Master for every good work.

00:09:52.615 --> 00:09:54.739
2 Timothy 2.21.

00:09:54.739 --> 00:09:59.932
Holiness is the mark of every true Christian.

00:09:59.932 --> 00:10:03.259
That's 1 John 3, 9-10.

00:10:05.804 --> 00:10:11.306
Cultivating a lifestyle of holiness doesn't mean that we've got to draft a list of do's and don'ts to live by.

00:10:11.306 --> 00:10:18.645
We're free from the letter of the law which kills, and now we live according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit.

00:10:18.645 --> 00:10:30.068
Now we're told work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

00:10:30.068 --> 00:10:34.014
Philippians 2, 12-13.

00:10:34.014 --> 00:10:40.442
In this verse we see cooperation between God and his children in sanctification.

00:10:40.442 --> 00:10:50.248
We work out what God works in us, because God has a timeline for the virtues that he wishes to cultivate in our lives.

00:10:50.248 --> 00:11:01.049
Our responsibility is to yield to his wishes, working out with focused attention and great care to those things that he's causing us to grow in.

00:11:02.716 --> 00:11:07.025
Holiness is not going to be brought to completion in our lives with no effort on our part.

00:11:07.025 --> 00:11:11.669
We have to participate in God's work in us.

00:11:11.669 --> 00:11:17.033
We're not going to be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease.

00:11:17.033 --> 00:11:21.437
An old hymn, an old Baptist hymn, I remember.

00:11:21.437 --> 00:11:26.562
I can't even remember how it goes Carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease.

00:11:26.562 --> 00:11:42.809
It's a good saying, though, now, this is maybe the most important lesson that we can learn as Christians God's ultimate desire for his people is that we be holy, conformed into the image of his son Jesus.

00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:45.192
Holiness is the will of God for our lives.

00:11:45.192 --> 00:11:49.139
That's Romans 8.29,1.

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:52.048
Thessalonians 4, 3 and 4.

00:11:52.048 --> 00:11:57.493
Now you know, of course, our flesh is weak.

00:11:57.493 --> 00:12:05.301
None of us will reach sinless perfection in this world, but God has made provision for our sin.

00:12:05.301 --> 00:12:15.350
If we confess our sins and repent, he's faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

00:12:15.350 --> 00:12:16.971
1 John 1.9.

00:12:18.273 --> 00:12:22.697
Our pursuit of holiness in this world includes daily confessing and forsaking sin.

00:12:22.697 --> 00:12:27.621
Repenting, that means to turn your back on it and not go back to it.

00:12:27.621 --> 00:12:32.157
Hebrews 12, 1-3.

00:12:32.157 --> 00:12:43.658
God helps us in our weakness by giving us the Holy Spirit, who reveals the mind of Christ to us and enables us to carry out his will.

00:12:43.658 --> 00:12:46.544
And when we yield to the Spirit, we become fruit-bearing Christians.

00:12:46.544 --> 00:12:51.902
We yield a harvest, and that is something that God is well-pleased about.

00:12:51.902 --> 00:13:02.897
Now, on the other hand, when we suppress the work of the Holy Spirit by rebelling against his will for us, we stifle the design of God, we sabotage our own spiritual growth and we grieve the Holy Spirit.

00:13:02.897 --> 00:13:04.850
That's Ephesians 4.30.

00:13:06.885 --> 00:13:18.407
If God was gracious enough to redeem us from sin and death and give us new life in Christ, the very least we can do is offer our lives back to him in complete surrender and holiness, which is for our benefit.

00:13:18.407 --> 00:13:24.557
For no other reason for our benefit If for no other reason for our benefit.

00:13:24.557 --> 00:13:26.688
I mean God demands it of us.

00:13:26.688 --> 00:13:30.160
But, my gosh, he's not doing it to make our lives horrible.

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:36.552
He's doing it because he just gave us the ultimate gift of eternal life in paradise.

00:13:36.552 --> 00:13:43.827
Because of God's mercies, we need to be living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

00:13:43.827 --> 00:13:44.950
Romans 12.1.

00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:49.966
And one day in heaven we're going to be free from sin and all its effects.

00:13:49.966 --> 00:13:53.453
But until then, we fix our eyes on Jesus.

00:13:53.453 --> 00:13:58.731
He's the author and the perfecter of our faith and we keep running our race.

00:13:58.731 --> 00:14:00.856
Hebrews 12.2.

00:14:05.765 --> 00:14:16.378
Hey, you don't know how much I appreciate you listening to this podcast, and if you're listening and you're regular, do you know that I have a second podcast?

00:14:16.378 --> 00:14:18.811
It's called Wisdom for the Day.

00:14:18.811 --> 00:14:23.530
You can find it at wisdomforthedayorg or right here.

00:14:23.530 --> 00:14:28.145
Wherever you're listening to this podcast, just do a search for Wisdom for the Day.

00:14:28.145 --> 00:14:33.272
It's basically a daily podcast from the book of Proverbs.

00:14:33.272 --> 00:14:39.139
I read about two verses a day and do a deep dive on those two verses.

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:48.509
Now, when you say deep dive on two verses, it's only going to be about five or six minutes, so you don't have to devote your whole life to another podcast.

00:14:48.509 --> 00:14:57.172
As much as I appreciate you listening to this one, I really want you to listen to the next one and I don't want to take up all your time.

00:14:57.172 --> 00:15:02.379
I really want you to listen to the next one and I don't want to take up all your time, so give me five minutes.

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:03.722
You can listen to that while you're shaving.

00:15:03.722 --> 00:15:10.107
You can listen to it when you first get in the car and waiting for it to warm up or cool off.

00:15:10.107 --> 00:15:11.750
I guess now, since it's going to be summer, I'd appreciate it.

00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:14.153
If you like it, let somebody else know about it too.

00:15:14.153 --> 00:15:17.217
That's wisdomforthedayorg.

00:15:17.217 --> 00:15:26.620
I love you, see, ya?

00:15:27.785 --> 00:15:29.909
So how can we live a holy life?

00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:31.974
Well, we need to remember what I said earlier.

00:15:31.974 --> 00:15:34.418
We need to understand what holy means.

00:15:34.418 --> 00:15:42.225
To be holy means to be set apart or separate from sin and evil.

00:15:42.225 --> 00:15:49.533
God is holy, completely separate from everything that's evil, and God calls us to be holy just as he is.

00:15:49.533 --> 00:15:50.515
But we need to understand that, apart from God.

00:15:50.515 --> 00:15:51.498
This is impossible.

00:15:51.498 --> 00:15:56.470
We must have the Holy Spirit indwelling and filling us with his holiness.

00:15:56.470 --> 00:16:00.599
We can only live a holy life through the power of the Spirit.

00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:15.331
So the first step to live in a holy life is to accept Jesus as your Savior, and once we've taken that step of being born again, we're declared righteous.

00:16:15.331 --> 00:16:16.816
Romans 5.1.

00:16:16.816 --> 00:16:23.177
But what does it look like to be actually righteous, to live a holy life?

00:16:25.125 --> 00:16:31.778
In 1 Thessalonians 4, 3-8, paul emphasizes sexual purity as part of holy living.

00:16:31.778 --> 00:16:47.336
It's God's will that you be sanctified, that you should avoid sexual immorality, that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in the passionate lust like the pagans who don't know God.

00:16:47.336 --> 00:16:59.135
Beyond avoiding sexual immorality and keeping sex within God's design for marriage, we can live a holy life by being obedient to God in other areas.

00:16:59.135 --> 00:17:05.497
In all of the other areas, we need to know and obey God's word.

00:17:05.497 --> 00:17:06.317
That's key.

00:17:06.317 --> 00:17:12.577
We need to hide God's word in our heart that keeps us from sin.

00:17:12.577 --> 00:17:18.114
And when we live in obedience to God, we're staying separate from evil.

00:17:18.114 --> 00:17:22.516
We're offering our bodies as living sacrifices to God.

00:17:22.516 --> 00:17:24.912
Romans 12, 1 and 2.

00:17:27.425 --> 00:17:34.278
The purpose of living a holy life is to glorify God and to display his nature to those people around us.

00:17:34.278 --> 00:17:36.071
Matthew 5, 16.

00:17:36.071 --> 00:17:42.415
Living a holy life of obedience to God is living in true freedom from the bondage of sin.

00:17:42.415 --> 00:17:51.835
Now I'm going to tell you, it's not always easy to choose obedience to God, especially if we're trying to do it all on our own.

00:17:51.835 --> 00:17:56.529
Satan would love nothing more than to bring us back into bondage through our disobedience.

00:17:56.529 --> 00:17:56.971
But we have a promise.

00:17:56.971 --> 00:17:59.065
Satan would love nothing more than to bring us back into bondage through our disobedience.

00:17:59.065 --> 00:18:08.155
But we have a promise you, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

00:18:09.185 --> 00:18:10.151
1 John 4.4.

00:18:10.151 --> 00:18:19.236
The Holy Spirit will produce Christlikeness in us and as you yield to him, you can live a holy life.

00:18:19.236 --> 00:18:20.497
1 John 4.4.

00:18:20.497 --> 00:18:24.230
Now here's the mindset that we need to have.

00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:29.109
Here's this renewed mindset that you need to work on.

00:18:29.109 --> 00:18:33.567
Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

00:18:33.567 --> 00:18:35.452
Romans 6.11.

00:18:35.452 --> 00:18:41.593
Anytime we face temptation, we need to say I'm dead to that.

00:18:41.593 --> 00:18:43.886
That was part of my old life.

00:18:43.886 --> 00:18:45.987
I'm a new creation in Christ.

00:18:45.987 --> 00:18:49.424
2 Corinthians 5.17,.

00:18:49.925 --> 00:18:52.833
To live a holy life, to separate ourselves from sin.

00:18:52.833 --> 00:19:06.728
We must see ourselves, as God does, as born-again children of the Most High, clothed with the righteousness of Christ, and we also have the benefit of being part of the body of Christ.

00:19:06.728 --> 00:19:14.361
Fellowship with other Christians and making ourselves accountable to them is a great source of strength in living a holy life.

00:19:14.361 --> 00:19:18.028
I go into a deep dive on that in episode 40.

00:19:18.028 --> 00:19:19.471
Go back and listen to that.

00:19:19.471 --> 00:19:26.113
You know, as Christians we're called to encourage one another in this matter Hebrews 10, 24, and 25.

00:19:26.113 --> 00:19:32.613
But you need to remember that we're not trying to live a holy life in order to earn salvation.

00:19:32.613 --> 00:19:39.472
Living a holy life is a natural outgrowth of being saved by God's grace and filled with His Spirit.

00:19:39.472 --> 00:19:45.442
It's also important not to give up when we mess up, when we fail.

00:19:45.442 --> 00:19:50.492
Our response should be to confess the sin and keep moving forward in our Christian walk.

00:19:50.492 --> 00:19:54.109
1 John 1, 9 and Romans 8, 1.

00:19:54.109 --> 00:19:59.539
Both of them say that there's now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

00:19:59.539 --> 00:20:04.625
Just remember, people, god's grace doesn't go away when we make mistakes.

00:20:10.333 --> 00:20:17.509
Hey, everybody, you know, before I wrap this up today, I want to give a huge, huge shout out to all our recent supporters.

00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:19.520
First off is Yelena.

00:20:19.520 --> 00:20:22.727
You know she's the executive producer of this show.

00:20:22.727 --> 00:20:32.833
She keeps me straight whether I want it or not and my Kimmy, who's the official Gabriel producer of Renewed Mindsets.

00:20:32.833 --> 00:20:36.568
And Michelle and Rhett, thank you.

00:20:36.568 --> 00:20:42.250
Thank you, christy, who's been supporting Renewed Mindsets since day one.

00:20:42.250 --> 00:20:43.112
Thank you, christy.

00:20:43.112 --> 00:20:59.573
And John and Jennifer, jj from Pell City, mitch and Dr, johnny Walker from the ATL, and Markinator and Heather and my mom and so many more.

00:20:59.653 --> 00:21:02.015
If I forgot you by name, please forgive me.

00:21:02.015 --> 00:21:05.057
I love you all and I thank you.

00:21:05.057 --> 00:21:09.321
Your contributions mean the world.

00:21:09.321 --> 00:21:10.324
Forgive me, I love you all and I thank you.

00:21:10.324 --> 00:21:12.709

Thank you so much for your generosity and your encouragement and for being such an awesome part of this community.

00:21:18.994 --> 00:21:20.661
I couldn't do this without you.

00:21:24.568 --> 00:21:26.553
Well, that's all for this week's show.

00:21:26.553 --> 00:21:30.269
You know the name of this show speaks my hope for you.

00:21:30.269 --> 00:21:34.130
It's taken from the words of Romans, chapter 12, verse 2.

00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:48.510
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

00:21:50.921 --> 00:21:55.906

00:22:03.287 --> 00:22:07.309
