I PETER1.15 we are called to be holy in our conduct for JESUS IS HOLY
THE LAW OF GOD IS HOLY , ROMANS 7.12
LEVITICUS 20,26 and u shall be holy to the lord ,it tells us why too
he has separated us from other people to be his.
leviticus 19;2 speak to all the congregation b e holy for I AM HOLY .; JESUS CALLED HIMSELF. THE I AM; IN JOHN 15,
JUDE 1. 20 BUILD YOURSELF UP IN HOLY FAITH
HERES SOMETHING you dont read about isreal either in,,
ACTS 7;51 [ isreal resisting the HOLY SPIRIT } you stiff necked and uncircumsiced in heart and ears YOU always resist the HOLY SPIRIT,as your fathers did ,, so do you .. we read in a vision isaiah saw GOD high and lifted up
ISAIAH 6 ;1-3 ANGELS CRYING OUT HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.
REVELATION 4;8 depicting another veiw of THE LAMB who was and is and is yet to come .
what makes something HOLY then?. it has tobe that GOD Himself is in i , God made what and declared it holy then in genisis 2;;2-3 and also sanctified it which means to be set apart just aswe read earlier that GODS people were to be holy in their conduct ----
.. when GOD HIS presence is somewhere then its holy the ground moses was on at the burning bush was said to be [HOLY ] moses remove your sandals.. it was ordinary dirt in a dry desert not a temple??
GOD"S presence was in the burning bush that made the ground around it HOLY ! , WAS JERUSALEAM holy when JESUS WAS LAMENTING OVER IT >> IN MATTHEW 23.37 ?/looking into the future JESUS here weeps over the city SAYING ITS HOUSE will be left desolute .----
.jerusaleam represented the whole of isreal for the temple of GOD was in it .... when before pontious pilate were asked who they wanted released at the passover ,, they cried out give us barabous ,, pilate replied what about this man your king?? the priests and such those representing THE NATION and the rabble rousers cried out unamiously WE HAVE NO KING BUT CESAR...
question here ?? if in the bible it states also their is no other name under heaven that a man can be saved but through JESUS and a nation rejects HIM --WHERE IS GODS PRESENCE THEN?? can such a nation claim to have God dwelling in their midst then>>??
acts 17 ,30 in times of ignorance only GOD overlooks when a people say we wont have this MAN rule over us, is GOD going to dwell their then by force? , all better be careful in what we believe , and follow exactly WHAT GOD has instructed ,, in galations ch 5 we be abrahams seed that accept JESUS as lord and savior from sin and the fruit of obediance is found in us,, bro murray
