Question: Do you want to live a blameless life?

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. 2 Tim 1:9

Answer: Do not be ashamed, then, of witnessing for our Lord; nor be ashamed of me, a prisoner for Christ’s sake. Instead, take your part in suffering for the Good News, as God gives you the strength to do it. He saved us and called us to be his own people, not because of what we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace. He gave us this grace by means of Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but now it has been revealed to us through the coming of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has ended the power of death and through the gospel has revealed immortal life.

Praise the Lord, today is Aril 29, would like to meditate on 2 Tim 1:9. Paul told Timothy, the reason for your salvation, ultimately is being in heaven with our savior but it has immediate implications too, that is a call to live holy.

The word translated “holy” means sacred, morally blameless, consecrated, saint. God is looking for some people who are consecrated or set apart for His use. “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” (Ephesians 1:4).

Paul tells the same message to the church in Ephesians in Eph 2:8-10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Peter said 1 Peter 1:15-16  As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy.”

Few simple questions. Are you intentional to live a life of holiness? Do you really want to live a blameless life? When is the last time, we prayed, Lord, help me to like you and live a holy life.
