CONCLUSION

So, how are you doing? If we are honest with ourselves, if we look inside, I think we must admit that we have our work cut out for us; or rather, God has HIS work cut out!

Truly holy people don’t think of themselves as holy. I firmly believe that personal holiness is something that others see in us, rather than something we see in ourselves. (Paul, "chief of sin-ners")

Speaking of being a sinner, let’s take a moment to make sure that you have taken the first step. Have your sins been forgiven? Have you received Christ as your Savior?

1. Completely giving yourself to God

2. Trusting Christ to forgive your sins

3. And allowing Him to have control of your life

We must take that first step.

Now if we have done that, if we have become a Christian, now we need to act like one; live like one.

We may fool others, and we may even fool ourselves, but we will never fool God. Let me challenge you to determine today, that from this point forward, we will begin the pursuit of personal holiness:

A lifestyle characterized by obe-dience to the Word of God; sub-mission to the Will of God; char-acter like the Son of God; with a sense of the Presence of God.

Let Us Pray.
