Holiness

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice


 

“Holiness is the fruit of truth.” – Charles Hodge

Jesus said He was the way, the truth, and the life.

Holiness is the fruit of Christ-in-us.

Holiness is the fruit of God working in us to renew our mind and Heart.

TRUTH

When we speak of truth from God, it is that understanding which gives Godly meaning and purpose to life. To have meaning and purpose, is to know how to be who we were created to be. “Holiness is the fruit of Truth.” (Charles Hodge)

Flesh

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice


 

“Flesh”

– Is Our Fallen Nature,

– Is That Part Of Us

Which Wants To Be

Independent Of God.

(Pride, Prejudice, Mind, Imagination, Conscience)

– It Is A Person Without

The Spirit Of God Living In Them.

Gen 3:4  2Cor 5:17  Eph 4:22-24

Gaps

inherent in our fallen nature.

Law & Legalism

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice


The law (moral and ceremonial) is what God required of Israel under
the old covenant.

 John 1:17 Gal 3:23-25 Heb 8:10 10:20

  

Legalism is a self-defined, or religiously defined

set of laws (works) and expectations

for satisfying a commitment to God

which is based on a misunderstanding

of how we come to God

and how we walk as Christians.

Rom 6:11-14 Gal 2:20-21 5:1,4 Mark 7:5-9

New Covenant Life

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice


New Covenant Life is living in newness of life, “a new and living way”.

A new way of living with God, when we believe Christ is who He said He is, we now have a connection to God in all of our thinking.

The attitude (desire) of our heart is toward God, as a Child of God.

The Holy Spirit teaches us the truth about Jesus and His Word  which renews our heart and mind.

This affirms our relationship with Him and, over time, changes our attitudes, thoughts and behavior. His Truth becomes the desire of our Heart and we experience the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

 

Ephesians 3:16-20   Hebrews 10:19-22  Romans 6:11-14  1 Corinthians 2:12-13    2 Corinthians 3:4-6   Galatians 2:20-21 2 Peter 1:3-4   Romans 7:6  Ephesians 4:17 Galatians 5:22-26

Our Conscience is Not God

GRACE, FAITH and LIFE
A Personal Statement of Christian Faith and Practice


God Is Spirit

And Speaks To Us Spiritually

John 4:24 Romans 8:16 1 Corinthians 2:9-14

 

Our Conscience

 Is Not God’s Spirit

 Heb 9:14 10:22 1 Tim 1:5 1 John 4:17-18

Gen 3:1-13

We received the Conscience as “knowledge of Good and Evil”, but until we believe in Jesus Christ, we have no “power” over that knowledge. The Conscience is what makes people believe they can “be like God”.

4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” English Standard Version
