January 27

The will of God is that all who belong to Jesus

will also be like Him in character.

Holiness is the fruit of His Spirit growing within us.

It is the life of Christ in us producing works of righteousness.

It is not by our efforts we are holy

but new life in Christ must be cultivated through discipleship.

Holiness requires us to be obedient; diligent; faithful; determined;

and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in our life.

We love with His love;

we stand upon His word;

we walk in His righteousness;

we live by the power of His might;

we depend upon His strength;

we are united together by His life.
