Makes Us Holy

Philemon; Hebrews 1-4

“In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.”

Hebrews 2:10, 11

With Jesus as our author of salvation and example of discipleship, we, too, are being made holy. This work of grace requires death to the life of self and sin, and this requires the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus suffered and showed us God’s playbook for transformation. Our capacity to absorb and grow through pain and suffering directly influences our journey in holiness. It is as we surrender our will in the midst of the relational, financial, health, and ministry pain that we cry out to Jesus, our author and perfecter of faith and salvation. His grace and his Spirit’s power are enough for us, especially in our weakness.

In what ways are we growing in holiness?

“Lord Jesus, today, I need your grace in suffering, for your glory.”
