"BE YE HOLY"

 

 

Be ye holy because I’m holy said the Lord! I Peter 1-16.

He wants us to be holy but does not force us to it because it has

to be done on our own volition.

This is a transformation we received from the Holy Spirit when 

we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

We should abandon the old man of sin after we are born again.

The old man is because of sin since Paradise, and the new man, 

is when we receive the Paternity of Jesus instead of Adam’s!

This is of course a transformation from sin to sanctification.

From the old man to the new one! Jesus said:

I am a worm; and no man.   Psalms  22.

Why did He say that?

Because He had on his shoulders the weight of the sins of the 

World, not his own sins, but the sins of the whole world!

And when He died all the sins died with Him!

But if we keep embracing the old man of sin and continue sinning

after accepting Christ, what good would be our transformation for?

It is like a worm that dragging on the floor makes his cocoon over 

him, days pass by, and when its time, the cocoon opens up an comes

out flying a butterfly of beautiful colors.

What would you say if instead of watching her fly, she starts dragg-

ing herself on the floor like a worm?

Yes! That she did not appreciated the gift of God!

What good would it be for us, that after receiving the Spirit of Jesus, 

to do this transformation on us, and instead of flying to serve God,

we continue dragging ourselves in sin?

When we become Christians, we abandon the wide road of sin, and

started to walk on the narrow road full of rocks, thorns and thistles?

We cannot walk on the narrow road and on the wide one at our own 

convenience! No! We have to decide once and for all, which road 

to choose and to follow it! If we want the narrow one, we have to get

rid of the wide one!

Oh! We are sometimes on the wide road because we are in the f lesh1

Baloney! We sin, because we like to sin! And refuse to obey God 

to love people! If we obey God, we cannot sin!

Man is a slave of the one who serves! Think about it!

“Our old man was crucified along with Christ, so the body of sin be 

destroyed! And we cannot sin anymore”   Roman’s 6-6.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"ONLY ONE"

 

God created man at his own image and likeness, one body, one 

soul, and one spirit. Unfortunately, we think that our body is all 

we have to take care of and nothing else, but we are not one only, 

but three that desperately are in need of God.

God is not just the Father, but also, God the Son, and God the 

Holy Spirit, but they are still just One God!

Some people believe in God the Father, but not in God the Son,

and much less in God the Holy Spirit.

A lot of people believe in God the Father only, others in God 

the Son but most people forget that the Holy Spirit is also God!

If you  believe in God the Father only, you are  going to have 

Just one third of God, the same happens when we believe in the 

Son only, and obviously, if you don’t believe in Jesus, neither 

you will believe in his Spirit.  Listen to this:  

God the Father is with us!  God the Son is for us!  

God the Spirit is in us!

God the Father is everybody’s God!  He makes shine his bright 

sun to give life heat and light for all his creation!

Jesus is for all also, but for all that believes in Him and accepts 

Him as their Savior. And his Holy Spirit is in us, since the ins-

tant we accept Him as our Lord!

Which of the Three persons of God do you love?  Listen:

He who has the Son has the Father also!

He who has not the Son has not the Father and the Holy Spirit!

We cannot have only one third of God! 

Whether we have Him all, or none! Do you understand?

Jesus said:

“Thou shall love the Lord thy God with al thy heart, and with

all your soul, and with all thy mind”  Mathew  22- 37.

Of course He is referring to all our being, body, soul and spirit.

Somebody said: How many gods are there? I don’t know! 

You tell me! And he answered to him: One! Only One! 

He is everywhere; and there is no room for another!

“If any man has not the Spirit of Christ, is not of his.” 

Roman’s 8-37.

PRAISE THE LORD!
