Holiness – The Fundamental Teaching of Jesus Christ<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ, unlike other teachers of his time, taught fundamental truth and God\u2019s principles that could provoke any audience into a protest.<\/p>\n

He analyzed different controversial topics and simplified God\u2019s words for people to have better understanding of God\u2019s requirement of holiness.<\/p>\n

For example, Jesus taught people and said:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Bless those who curse you (Luke 6:28)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n
          \n
        1. Give to everyone who asks you something (Luke 6:30)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n
              \n
            1. Do as you want other people to do to you (Luke 6:31)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n
                  \n
                1. Love your enemies (Luke 6:35)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \n
                      \n
                    1. Do not judge others (Luke 6:37)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Give abundant charity to other people (Luke 6:38)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        Lesson on Holiness
                        \n<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

                        \"holiness\"Christians must continuously follow the principles of Jesus Christ by teaching people the basic facts of God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n

                        Some truth will be uncomfortable and hurtful, yet people need to hear them so that they can understand God\u2019s requirements for his kingdom, and thereby comply with them.<\/p>\n

                        However, we (believers) must ensure to preach what we practice and also lead by examples to motivate people into godliness.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        Meanwhile, the basis of speaking the truth of God\u2019s kingdom must not be based on anyone\u2019s holiness standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                        That is, whether a Christian still struggles to comply with God\u2019s laws in one area of his\/her life or not, he\/she is still required to preach God\u2019s truth at all times \u2013 without any dilution or over-simplicity.<\/p>\n

                        God\u2019s righteous standard remains irrevocable; therefore, believers have to preach it always.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        We must learn from Jesus whose preaching throughout the scripture laid emphasis on holiness \u2013 as the only requirement that qualifies anyone for God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n

                        Christ even stated,<\/p>\n

                        \u201cSeek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you\u201d (Matthew 6:33).<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        In addition, for any Christian to adequately comply with God\u2019s righteous standard and preach it, he\/she must have been empowered by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

                        Without him (Holy Spirit) in control, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to please God.<\/p>\n

                        The Spirit will encourage us to love God and our neighbors well. <\/a><\/p>\n

                        He will also help us to live by example and preach undiluted word of God.<\/p>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                        Prayer of Holiness<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

                        Dear Jesus Christ, please help me to be an honest Christian who will live according to the scripture and also preached the truth of your kingdom.<\/p>\n

                        Empower me with your Holy Spirit to live holy and acceptable life before you; let your divine Spirit give me a contrite heart \u201cTo talk the talk and walk the walk\u201d for the purpose of benefitting your kingdom.<\/p>\n

                        When my earthly race is over, please count me worthy in your eternal kingdom to rejoice in your presence forever!<\/p>\n

                        For in the name of Jesus Christ I make my requests. Amen.<\/p>\n
