How Can We Be Holy  #RTTBROS #Nightlight 

1 Peter 2:9** - "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"

How can we be Holy? 

Think of God's holiness as a bright, perfect light that never dims or fades. It's always pure and good, making everything around it look better. That's how God is—always perfect, loving, and pure!

Now imagine yourself as a colorful piece of glass. When God's light shines through you, it makes your colors even brighter and more beautiful. That's what happens when you choose to follow God and be like Him—His holiness helps you shine brighter and be more beautiful too.

But sometimes we do things that make our glass a bit dirty or cloudy, making it harder for God's light to shine through us. That's when we need to ask God for forgiveness and help to become more like Him again.

So, our holiness is like letting God's light shine through us, making us more beautiful and good, just like Him!

To avoid legalism and keep your pursuit of holiness relational, remember these points:

1. Focus on Jesus and becoming more like Him, rather than just following rules.

2. Emphasize the role of God's grace in enabling us to become holy.

3. Seek to understand God's heart and why He wants us to be holy—because He loves us and desires intimacy with us.

4. Be honest about your struggles, asking for forgiveness when you make mistakes, and remember that holiness is a lifelong journey.

Let me emphasize that holiness is a loving response to God's grace, not a way to earn His approval. It's about deepening our relationship with God and allowing Him to transform us from within
