From my morning devotion:
Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
also:
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Let's see what Mr Webster has to say about holiness.
Holiness - The state of being holy; purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin; sanctity. Applied to the Supreme Being, holiness denotes perfect purity or integrity of moral character, one of his essential attributes.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
I'm not trying to sound too spooky, but we all have a spirit which influences us. What is yours telling you? Is it a spirit of fear, telling you to worry about tomorrow? Is a spirit of pride, one that can't pass a mirror without checking yourself out? Or is it a spirit which is causing you to put off the ways and things of the flesh?
Heavenly Father, please give us the Spirit of holiness. Make our lives beyond reproach. In Jesus name, amen.
