👥 The key to holiness is thirsting to grow in holiness by changing our lifestyle. To change, we would have to die to self.
When we deepen our personal relationship with Jesus, this love supersedes our priorities, patterns, and habits. (Phil 3:7-8)
Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Who makes us holy. The Spirit not only turns us off to the world, but also turns us on to a life-style of holiness.
👥圣洁的关键是通过改变我们的生活方式来渴望圣洁的成长。要改变，我们必须为自己而死。
当我们加深与耶稣的个人关系时，这种爱会取代我们的优先事项，模式和习惯。 （腓立比书3：7-8）
耶稣在圣灵里给我们施洗，使我们成圣的圣灵。圣灵不仅使我们转向世界，而且还使我们成为一种圣洁的生活方式。
👥圣灵会定罪罪的世界（约翰福音16：8）。我们知道我们的罪是耶稣遭受和死亡的原因。但是，我们仍然不会那么讨厌罪恶。圣灵会通过给予我们对耶稣更深的爱，并通过灵性将我们带到十字架来改变这一点。用激情和欲望将我们的肉体钉在十字架上（加拉太书5:24）。借着圣灵，我们“将身体的恶行”处死“（罗8:13）。在第一个五旬节之后，早期的基督徒被圣灵带入一种新的生活方式。
圣灵将在许多方面引导我们进入一种新的生活方式（见加拉太书5:25）。 （17因为肉体的欲望与圣灵对立，圣灵也与肉体对立。这两者彼此反对，使你们不能做自己所愿意做的。（加拉太书5:17）。
👥Roman 8:6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. 7 And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it. 8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. 9 But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to - if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin. 11 If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you. 12 So then, my friends, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to. 13 For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live. 14 Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's children. 15 For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" 16 God's Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God's children.
👥In our baptism, we are buried with Christ. We crucified our flesh ( human nature ) with Christ. God pours his Spirit to us. We are born again. (John 3:5) When they receive the baptism of the Church . . . then finally can they be fully sanctified and be the sons of God. For in the water is the representation of death, in the Spirit is the pledge of life, that the body of sin may die through the water, which encloses the body as it were in a kind of tomb, that we, by the power of the Spirit, may b.e renewed from the death of sin, being born again in God.
👥The Lord will make us holy (1 Thes 5:23-24), but we must first thirst for holiness.
But we are already hungering and thirsting for the things of the world. Because we are stuffed with the junk food of the world, we have lost our appetite for holiness.
Anxieties over life and the desire for wealth, and cravings of other sorts etc choke off the seed of God's word (Mk 4:19). "The flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; the two are directly opposed" (Gal 5:17). Our life-style has become a "death-style."
👥Galatians 5:. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!
👥1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 16 because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.
👥Every adult human in history has been tempted with the followings: 1. Lust of the flesh, 2. Lust of the eyes, 3. Pride of life. It is important to beware of these three areas of temptation that we will all face, for every sin we commit will be preceded by at least one of these temptations.
