“...do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10 v 31
All that is lovely should be worthy.
All that is worthy can be holy.
We need the Spirit of sanctity,
To transform our identity in Jesus.
The love the Lord Jesus gives us
Is nothing but worthy,
A call to a higher life.
“God made Christ who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5 v 21
A life whereby we too, are pure to serve our Father.
But we cannot do this independently.
Always we will need the Spirit of sanctity,
To work with us, to teach us,
To correct us, to direct us.
Our conduct can be dreadful.
But probably there will be little remorse
Unless of course we call on the purifying Spirit.
“This I call to mind and therefore I have hope: because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed for His
compassion fails not.” Lamentations 3 v 21, 22 NIV
It is in the Spirit we develop the desire
To strive towards that which is worthy.
There is no point in living haphazardly.
We will not reach our destiny.
The journey in faith has to be made holy
Or else it counts as of little value.
Time and time again we falter and fail miserably but we battle on.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living
hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1 v 3 NIV
