Hebrews 12:10 says, “…God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness… for without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
God cares about sin because He is holy, and sin separates us from Him.
![Page 95: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
What is sin?According to the Bible, sin is REJECTING
THE COMMANDS OF GOD.If sin is rejecting the commandments of
God, then holiness is obeying the commands of God.
![Page 96: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Holiness is something God wishes for us because IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST WAY TO LIVE!
Holiness has been defined as a LIFE that is FUNCTIONAL and HEALTHY and WHOLE.
![Page 97: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Holiness is not MERELY OBEYING CERTAIN RULES.
“Holiness is not a high mark set for supersaints but rather the healthy, functional way of living for all of us.”
Richard Foster
![Page 98: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
“Holiness is growing into the likeness of Christ, resulting from the ministry of Christ in our minds, motives, decisions, deeds, words, characters and conduct.”
Commissioner Edward Read
![Page 99: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
We find ways to develop a holy life by PRACTICING THE FIVE DISCIPLINES OF DISCIPLESHIP.
![Page 100: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
“Holiness is a decisive surrender and is to be followed by a daily discipline… holiness then is a crisis followed by a process.”
Commissioner Edward ReadHoliness, then, is pursuing the lifestyle
desired by God as indicated in Scripture.
![Page 101: BASICS OF DISCIPLESHIP](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812b47550346895d8f628d/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
If holiness is pursuing a Godly lifestyle, then spirit-filled living means giving the Holy Spirit freedom in our life to do His ministry.
Let’s read the responsive reading, verses taken from John 14, 15 and16.
