1. The Call to Holiness

2. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Pet. 1:15-16, NIV Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Heb. 12:14, NIV

3. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 6:9-11, NIV

4. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Cor. 3:17-18, NIV

5. Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.

7. The Call to Holiness

8. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. 1 Thess. 5:23-24, NIV
