CALLED UNTO HOLINESS (GHS 190)

3. CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190]
“Called unto holiness,” Church of our God.
Purchased of Jesus, redeemed by His blood;
Called from the world and its idols to flee,
Called from the bondage of sin to be free. 1.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” is our watchword and song,
“Holiness unto the Lord,” as we’re marching along;
Sing. . . it, shout it, loud and long.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

4. CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190]
“Called unto holiness,” children of Light,
Walking with Jesus in garments of white;
Raiment unsullied, nor tarnished with sin,
God’s Holy Spirit abiding within. 2.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” is our watchword and song,
“Holiness unto the Lord,” as we’re marching along;
Sing. . . it, shout it, loud and long.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

5. CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190]
“Called unto holiness,” praise His dear name,
This blessed secret to faith now made plain,
Not our own righteousness, but Christ within,
Living and reigning, and saving from sin. 3.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” is our watchword and song,
“Holiness unto the Lord,” as we’re marching along;
Sing. . . it, shout it, loud and long.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

6. CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 179]
“Called unto holiness,” glorious thought!
Up from the wilderness wanderings brought
Out from the shadows and darkness of night
Into the Canaan of perfect delight. 4.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” is our watchword and song,
“Holiness unto the Lord,” as we’re marching along;
Sing. . . it, shout it, loud and long.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

7. HIGHER GROUND [GHS 179] 5. “Called unto holiness,” Bride of the Lamb
Waiting the Bridegroom’s returning again;
Lift up your heads, for the day draweth near.
When in His beauty the King shall appear. 5.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” is our watchword and song,
“Holiness unto the Lord,” as we’re marching along;
Sing. . . it, shout it, loud and long.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” now and for ever.

8. EXHORTATION TO GODLY LIVING
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES
LESSON 685:
EXHORTATION TO GODLY LIVING

9. LESSON 685: EXHORTATION TO GODLY LIVING
MEMORY VERSE:
“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you” (2 Corinthians 13:11)
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 13:1-14

10. SUMMARY (1) From our last study, we learnt the following lessons:
Paul clarified that the gospel he preached was by divine revelation.
He did not glory in his gifts or achievements but rather in the Lord.
He was afflicted with a “thorn in the flesh”. It was painful but God gave him victory.
The study of today touches on three points:
Paul’s timely warnings to erring believers
Edifying exhortation to steadfast godly living
Pastoral benedictions and saintly salutations

11. SUMMARY (2)
Paul’s timely warnings to erring believers (2 Corinthians 13:1-4):
To minister effectively to members, the minister should be close to, and know them.
Due pastoral care includes warnings, exhortations, prayers and love for the members.
Believers are called to godly living (1 Corinthians 1:2). To achieve this, self-discipline and church discipline are indispensable (Mathew 5:29, Hebrews 12:5-8).
Edifying exhortation to steadfast godly living (2 Corinthians 13:5-10):
Paul called the Corinthian church to self-examination, which every believer must do.
It is to check our motives and regulate our actions by the scriptures (James 1:22-25).
For believers to be honest, ministers must uphold the truth personally and ministerially.
Pastoral benedictions and saintly salutations (Corinthians 13:11-14):
In his parting words, the apostle maintained the warmth of care and affection.
In a living Church, fervent love is expressed in the beauty of transparent purity.
The grace expressed in the benediction transforms, sustains and makes us fruitful.

HYMN
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY (GHS 189)

19. TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189]
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word;
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak.
Forgetting in nothing, His blessing to seek. 1.

20. TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189]
Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone-
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see. 2.

21. TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189]
Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His word. 3.

22. TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189]
Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each temper beneath His control:
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. 4.
