The High Call of Holiness Selected scriptures:

The High Call of Holiness The Big Idea - Believers are individually chosen by God to be a reflection of His glory to the world. The recognition, and acknowledgement of this high calling will dramatically change the perspective of both the believer and those they come in contact with.

Key Term Holy, Holiness - biblical terms translated "holy" or "holiness" (qadosh, hagios) the most basic meaning of the words is to be "set apart" or "dedicated" to God— to belong to God

The High Call of Holiness There is a distinctive pattern in Apostolic writings. The believer is always first reminded of who they are

The High Call of Holiness Then, based on who they are, the believer is called to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. We can only fully embrace the call to serve when we understand the enormity of our eternal calling and reward.

The High Call of Holiness 1 Peter 1:3 – 9 - The High Call to Eternal Reward 1 Peter 2:9 – 11 – The High Call to Earthly Service

The High Call of Holiness 1 Peter 2:9 – 11, Rev. 5:8 – 11 – A kingdom of Priests God uses chosen people to reach lost people – Acts 1:8

The High Call of Holiness God desires that His chosen people be separated, and dedicated to His service God desires that His chosen people act as intercessors between God and man – Ezekiel 22:30, Psalm 106:23, Jeremiah 5:1

The High Call of Holiness Matthew 5:13 – 17 – We must practice what we preach. The world must see a real Christian before it can see the true Christ. There is an old saying, “There’s more caught that taught.”
