“And the Lord make you to increase and abound in
love one toward another, and toward all men, even
as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish
your hearts unblameable in holiness before God,
even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ with all his saints.”
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.
The ninth benefit of spiritual growth is
effortless holiness. Holiness is a behavioral
expression of a spiritual condition.
1 Peter 1:14-16 says, “As obedient children, not
fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts
in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you
is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
As you grow in Christ the more conscious you
become of your true identity and nature, as a result,
your spirit man begins to gain the ascendancy over
your mind and your flesh. Because of the dominance
of your recreated human spirit, holiness
will be the natural expression of your life.
The more you grow in Christ and able to accept the
truth that is in Christ and crucify the flesh with its
affections and lusts, the easier it will be for you to
live a holy life. The Bible says, “And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit.” Galatians 5:24-25.
This is the consciousness of growing Christians,
so walk in this consciousness by taking out time
to intentionally meditate on the Scriptures above
Instruction.
Please read 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 and ask Godto glorify Himself through your life by
manifesting His character and power through
your life.
For further study, read:
Colossians 1:22, Titus 2:11-14, Jude 1:24.
Doing the Word
Please meditate on Galatians 2:20, “I amcrucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the
Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me.”
