The Beginning of Holiness

The Beginning of Holiness

• There is nothing that enters a man from
  outside which can defile him but the things
  which come out of him, those are the things that
  defile a man.
• (Mark 715)

Holiness Begins in the Mind(1 Peter 113-16)

• Must gird up the loins of your mind
• (vs. 13) James 18 (cf. Acts 1711)
• Must rest your hope on the grace received at the
  Lords coming
• (vs. 13)
• Must not conform your thinking to the former
  lusts

Conclusion

• If you want to be holy, you must commit to it,
  with all your will and resolve. It begins in the
  mind.
• I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
  mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
  living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which
  is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be
  conformed to this world, but be transformed by
  the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
  what is that good and acceptable and perfect will
  of God.
• (Romans 121-2)
