Walk in Holiness
by Gloria Copeland
“If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:17
“Nobody could be as holy as God is.”
Have you ever heard people say that? It could be that you think that way. Well, if so, it’s time to change your thinking.
If you are born again, God has called you to be holy. That’s your destiny. That’s where you’re headed. Romans 8:29 says He predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son.
If you are born again, you have been made holy. Now you are being called to walk out what you are on the inside. To be like the Father, you have to give yourself to Him. How much you give of yourself to God is how much He reveals Himself to you. That’s how you become conformed to His image.
Being conformed to His image is a process. Your spirit man has been completely changed. In it dwells the Holy Spirit. But your soul—your mind, will and emotions—and your body are conformed to His image over time. You grow up spiritually the same as you grow up naturally.
You are on a journey. The Bible says you are changed from glory to glory even into the image of the Spirit of the Lord, as you continue to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the glory of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18, The Amplified Bible ). As you look at Him in the Word, you are changed by the Holy Spirit into His image.
If you are living separated unto God, disconnected from darkness, you will stand out and be distinguished.
Many people are born again, but they never disconnect from their old life. They never spend enough time hearing from God, reading the Word for themselves, spending time in prayer or learning how to listen to the Holy Spirit within them, teaching them how to separate from the world. As a result, they never change on the outside.
But the change on the outside is what enables you to walk free. It’s when you change on the outside that you experience the blessings of God. When you change on the outside, you experience all that God provided for you when He saved you.
That’s when you will walk in holiness.
