In Search of God's Promises

What is the one thing we do when we feel out of control in a situation? We grasp onto something stable, something we can lean on, something that will hold us up. When the ground is shifting we want something solid to stand on. This is a journey through the Bible in search of God's promises for us today. Let's look together to see how many "boulders" He has in His quarry for us to stand on! "It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom. 9:8

Promise 12 from Leviticus 19:2

Lev. 19:2 - "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy'." - Holiness is not an unreachable goal that we should shoot for the rest of our lives, but it is a command straight from God. It is possible because we are created in God's image and He build that into our character. He created us with holy fibres. It is our decision to sin, which causes our built-in holiness to be defiled. We need to make the decision to be holy, to set aside all thoughts and actions that defile the holy nature that God has put into us. The promise to us is; that because He is the Lord our God, holiness is possible to achieve right now.
