Being Made Holy

Isaiah 15-18; Hebrews 10 

“But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy…How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?”

Hebrews 10:12-14, 29

As we respond to the gift of forgiveness, by faith, as those who have been set apart (made holy) for God, Christ’s finished sacrifice for all sin has made us complete forever in the sight of God. Christ defeated the principalities and powers on the cross, and as we live in that victory and apply it to our lives, we, too, overcome all the power of the enemy. Deliberately and willfully disobeying the Spirit of grace by indulging in sin mocks the blood of Christ and invites God’s discipline into our lives. We are being made holy as we obey the Spirit, receive God’s grace, and honor the blood of the covenant that sanctified us.

Are we growing in holiness, or are we wandering away from the Spirit of grace?

The stakes are big!

“Lord Jesus, I honor and obey you, for your glory.”
