Holiness is The True Way!

Holiness is The True Way

Isaiah 35:8

[8]And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

1 Chronicles 16:29-31

[29]Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

[30]Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

[31]Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

[14]Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

[15]And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

[16]And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

[17]Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

[18]And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 7:1

[1]Having therefore these promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in them fear of God.

Ephesians 4:21-26,28-32

[21]If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

[22]That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

[23]And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

[24]And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

[25]Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

[26]Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

[28]Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

[29]Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

[31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

[32]And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

1 Thessalonians 3:10-13

[10]Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

[11]Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

[12]And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

[13]To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

[1]Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

[2]For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

[3]For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

[4]That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

[5]Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

[6]That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

[7]For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

[8]He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Hebrews 12:1-17

[1]Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

[2]Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[3]For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

[4]Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

[5]And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

[6]For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

[7]If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

[8]But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

[9]Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

[10]For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

[11]Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

[12]Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

[13]And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

[14]Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

[15]Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

[16]Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

[17]For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Wisdom of Solomon 5:18-19

[18]He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.

[19]He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

Wisdom of Solomon 6:9-11

[9]Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.

[10]For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.

[11]Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:29-30

[29]For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.

[30]Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

Ecclesiasticus 17:29

[29]How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!

Sanctification is The Way to Holiness!

John 17:16-17

[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 17:19

[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Acts 26:17-18

[17]Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

[18]To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Romans 15:16

[16]That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 1:2-3

[2]Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

[3]Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:11-12

[11]And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

[12]All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
