Man when you think of true holiness what do you see? I can't even picture myself next to something like that. Maybe that is why Isaiah said "I am a dead man, for I am a man of unclean lips" (my version). Maybe that is why John bowed down in the presence of God's heavenly beings. That is exactly why Moses had to remove his sandal's.
Eph 1:1 says:
1This letter is from Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. It is written to God's holy people in Ephesus, who are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.
We are God's holy people? Wow what great responsibility. You noticed the bold part. What about the part that is italics? We are called to be faithful. Are you faithful?
Then in Eph 1:18 we see this:
18I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people.
With our faith in Christ we receive a rich blessing. An inheritance so large nothing on this earth can touch it. I just recently told my mother (Sorry John...lol) that I don't care about inheritance. I explained that I would rather see them enjoy what they worked so hardly for. I am blessed already and God will always take care of my family. Plus my eternal inheritance is the most important. The only thing I could ever want is to spend eternity with my wife, kids, family and friends. That kind of of inheritance is worth sharing.
So I ask you today. Are you living an untainted holy life? If not, Christ has called you into living one. Stop hanging out in the temporal life and start planning for the eternal one.
