JESUS CHARACTER

Principle of the month: Holiness

Based on: Hebrews 12:14New International Version (NIV)
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to
be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Song of the month: This is amazing way by Phil

Wickham
Although it may seem strange, the importance of
holiness in the gospel and Christian life seems to be
thinning with the passage of time. New thoughts,
postures and even doctrinal winds seem to indicate that
holiness is not very relevant as long as the person
believes in God.

How do you show Gods holiness to others?

Do I need to say not to others when I see something
wrong?
