What great Sufficient Grace we have and what a wonderful helper in His Spirit so we too can be choice sheep ready for relationship and sacrifice just as Christ. Just think how much more precious we are when we are Holy (Set Apart) for our Father. They were kept up, fed perfectly, protected, and treated much differently than just any old sheep. I studied on the sheep that were used for sacrifice at the temple they were flawless, perfect, firstlings, pure, set apart, and so very special to their shepherd’s. That is what he wants us to be and covered with the blood of our Savior and the help of His Holy Spirit we too can be pure and white as snow in the eyes of our Father. To be set apart is to be so very special to our Father YHWH. His publications were read and admired by the late F.B. In his work on “The Structural Principles of the Bible”, Marsh encourages diligent study of the Word of God for the enrichment of every believer.
Be ye holy for i am holy free#
In addition to being a well-known conference speaker, he served as a minister of the Bethesda Free Church, in Sunderland, U.K. Frederick Edward Marsh devoted his life to studying the Bible and unfolding its treasures to others through his preaching and his many books and outlines. We may be sure of this, that when God tells us to be, to do, and to suffer, He will meet our need, even as in the case of Paul, who prayed thrice that the thorn might be removed, but the Lord answered by saying, “My grace is sufficient for thee.”Įnglish-born, Dr. “He shall be holy unto thee, for I, the Lord, which sanctify you, am holy” (Lev. We are servants of the King of kings, and that is the reason we are to be holy. And why? Because they are the Queen’s servants. How careful in demeanour, how courteous in manner, and constant in attendance the Queen’s servants are. We are royal priests to shew forth the praises of Him, who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light for that express purpose. Aaron and his sons were to be holy because they were priests. “They shall”-the priests-“be holy unto their God” (Lev. For, if we are like the Ephraimite, who said that he was not an Ephraimite, but when put to the test by the Gileadite, who told him to say “Shibboleth,” betrayed that he was what he said he was not in like manner our life will soon speak out what we are (Judges12:6). Talk not of election, if there is not the evidence of it in holiness of life. Why has He chosen us? To save us from hell? Yes, but more than that we are chosen in Christ that we should be holy, and without blame before Him in love. “And ye shall be holy unto Me, for I, the Lord, am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be Mine” (Lev.20:26).
He is Jehovah-Jireh, to provide for us Jehovah-Ropheca, to heal us Jehovah-Nissi, to enable us to conquer Jehovah-Shalom, to calm us Jehovah-Tsebahoth, to lead us Jehovah-Rohi, to care for us Jehovah-Heleyon, to lift us up Jehovah Tsidkenu, to cover us Jehovah-Shammah, who is with us and Jehovah-Mekaddeshcem, to sanctify us. There are ten different aspects in which God reveals Himself as Jehovah. Newberry, in the margin of his Bible, renders the title, “Lord,” “Jehovah-Mekaddeshcem.” Wherever we get the title Jehovah, it brings before us God in covenant relationship. “Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be ye holy, for I am the Lord your God” (Lev. Samuel 15:20, 21), for to obey is better than sacrifice. It is not for us to compromise, or question as King Saul did in relation to Agag (I. He commands, and we must obey for obedience is the life of holiness. We are to be holy because the Lord tells us to be. We love, because He first loved us we serve, because He has served us we trust, because He has been true to us we obey, because of His Word to us and we walk in His ways because of what He has done for us. 11:45).īecause God brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered them from Pharaoh, He had a claim upon their gratitude and obedience even so has He upon us. “The Lord is Holy in all His works” (Psalm 145:17).īecause of what He has done (Lev. All He does is holy He cannot act but like Himself He can no more do an unrighteous action than the sun can darken. Every line in the Word breathes sanctity it encourages nothing but holiness. It is compared to silver refined seven times (Psalm 12:6). The Word bears a stamp of His holiness upon it, as the wax bears an impression of the seal. He is holy in His nature His very being is made up of holiness, as light is the essence of the sun.
“I am holy.” Thomas Watson says, God is holy intrinsically. Below are 7 reasons that the believer in Christ should be holy.
