you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Leviticus 11:45
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
God is holy, so He requires us to be holy. This is the criteria for entering the kingdom of God. Ever since we were tempted and corrupted by Satan, we have lived in sin and become increasingly corrupt. Although we have been redeemed by the Lord Jesus and forgiven of our sins and God does not remember our sins, we haven’t cast away our sinful nature which is deeply rooted within ourselves. Therefore, we live in a cycle of sinning and repenting, and cannot free ourselves from the binds and control of sin. God is in power in His kingdom. He won’t allow the impure or corrupt into His kingdom. We have no ability to get rid of filth and corruption. Only God—the Creator—is able to save mankind and free us from Satan and sin. Only He can save us from the domain of Satan. If we want to break free from the bondage of sin and be cleansed, we should accept God’s salvation and practice according to His words. God says, “Because the essence of God is holy, that means that only through God can you walk the bright, right road through life; only through God can you know the meaning of life, only through God can you live out a real life, possess the truth, know the truth, and only through God can you obtain life from the truth. Only God Himself can help you shun evil and deliver you from the harm and control of Satan. Besides God, no one and nothing can save you from the sea of suffering so that you suffer no longer: This is determined by the essence of God. Only God Himself saves you so selflessly, only God is ultimately responsible for your future, for your destiny and for your life, and He arranges all things for you. This is something that nothing created or non-created can achieve. Because nothing created or non-created possesses an essence of God such as this, no person or thing has the ability to save you or to lead you. This is the importance of God’s essence to man.”
