©06/01/2002 Jim Welch Scriptural references for: June 02 Verbatim references: none Holiness is not an accident of nature, nor is
it something we were predestined to be; holiness comes from God to us
in response to our willingness to do things God's way and not our
own. A person who does things his own way and not
according to God's will is in a state of rebellion against
God. Rebellion against God can hardly be called
holiness. Holiness than is obedience to the will of God;
the more obedient to the will of God we are, the more holy we
become. Mary, the Mother of Jesus, whom all Christians
call Blessed (ie. holy) taught us all how to be holy when she said,
Whatsoever He (Jesus) sayeth unto you, do it. Let us than, take to our heart the advice of
the Blessed Virgin, Mary, the Mother of Christ, and do all that Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, the Word of God made flesh, has commanded us to
do. Love one another, etc. Amen! |
