How to Live Holy:

 

1.     Live Holy by anticipating Christ’s future return

"Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly” (Proverbs 26:11).

 

3.      Live Holy by reflecting on God’s Holiness

 

“With our loss of the sense of Majesty has come the further loss of religious awe and consciousness of the divine presence. … The decline of the knowledge of the holy has brought on our troubles. A rediscovery of the majesty of God will go along way toward curing them.” A.W. Tozer

 

 

4.      Live holy by fearing God’s just judgment

 

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
