God is Holy. The Holiness of God, He is set apart. He is separated from impurity and sin. We all were separated from Him, because we all fell short of the mark He had for us.
Romans 3 verse 23 NKJV: “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”.
In Isaiah 6 verse 7: Isaiah had a touch from the Lord, for his calling and to be set apart. A touch or experience of The Lord, he is calling us all to be set apart. As followers of Christ Jesus, we should look back regularly to the suffering and death of Th Son of God on the cross, as a glowing coal from the alter as His touch to us.
We receive righteousness from God as a Free Gift, it is bestowed upon us by God, because of what Christ Jesus has done for us on the cross.
Romans 3 verse 21 to 26: The result of this Gift, is that we are now holy, everyone who is authentic follower of Jesus Christ. Now that this Gift of Holiness has been imparted to us, we should never trivialize sin.
We have been set apart by The Love God gave on the cross, by Repentance on our part, and Forgiveness on God’s part.
The Gift of Holiness bestowed on us, not by our deeds and works, but on Repentance and Acceptance alone, gives us fellowship with God. God hates sin and sin separated us from God. {Sin Wrong-doings, falling short of the mark God had for us as one of his much loved creations}.
We were created for fellowship, and through Repentance of falling short of The Mark, we are restored to fellowship with Him, by His Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness.
We are to walk in this Gift of Holiness, with this newness of our lives, Christ Jesus paid for on the cross. Hebrews 12 verse 2:
God Bless.
