Stay Pure To See God
THE LAMP DEVOTION
Hebrews 12:12-15
12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.
When all is said and done, the life of the Christian is fundamentally a life of holy and righteous behavior. This passage exhorts us to be strong and make straight paths for our feet, exhorts the pursuit of peace and then adds the common denominator – holiness.
The position of holiness in the Christian life is the principle that no one can discount. You cannot go around it. You may excuse unholy living based on some flimsy excuses, but that is only a game in your mind, because God will never ever endorse impure thoughts and the dirty life that oozes from them.
Sin will defile us and make us not worthy to call ourselves children of God. Sin has the potential of making us lose the salvation we have so much talked about. If you think that you are born again and you play with sin or adopt a casual attitude to living a pure life, you are just sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode. Your sin will find you out one day.
Holiness is one thing we cannot do without. If we have difficulty with overcoming temptation, the wise thing is to go back to the one who said “be holy because I am holy†He knows how to make it happen for you. Remember, without holiness, no man can see God.
Prayer
1. Thank God for every provision He has made to enable you to live a life of holiness.
2. Pray that you will always draw strength from the Holy Spirit to live pure.
3. Father, please cause me to walk in Your light by the Light You have shed in my heart.
Declarations
I declare that God’s light shines in my heart to dispel all forms of darkness hiding in me. By that light, I walk in the light and live a life of holiness. I will not compromise. Instead of self-justification and giving excuses, I receive power from on high to live a pure life in the name of Jesus!
