Hebrews 11:6
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him…”
Rom 14:23
“… for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”
Many believers are struggling to live a
holy life which should not be and it is because unconsciously they are trying
to separate living by faith from living a holy life. What they don’t realize is
that you need to live by faith in other to live a holy life. Once you are not
living by faith you are not living a holy life because when you
are outside faith you are not pleasing to God.
Secondly the Scriptures say, what is not
of faith is sin, surely you cannot be in sin and be holy at the same time. What
I am trying to get you to see is that you need faith in other to be holy. This
is so because faith is built on the promises of God, also when it comes to
living a holy life it is based on the promises of God and you laying a hold of
them.
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God.” 2Cor 7:1
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2Peter 1:4
Peter says we are given promises and Paul
says having these promises, let us cleanse ourselves… perfecting holiness but
people are trying to perfect holiness without having or laying hold on
promises. You cannot do it without laying hold on the promises. Laying hold on
the promises is the faith process.
