  The root word for ‘holiness’ comes from the Greek word ‘Hagios’, which has three meanings: a) Separated from the ordinary b) Separated from the common usage c) Something holy is that which has been brought into relationship with God and designated by Him as having a sacred purpose. We must be clear that simply by living a holy life we do not become holy. If it would have been possible then the death of Christ would have been useless. Our holiness is in Christ, which is the wisdom of God i.e., Christ has become holiness, righteousness, and redemption for us as scripted in 1 Corinthians 1:30. We must keep our eyes on Christ forever. The devil wants us to focus on ourselves and to view ourselves as to how unrighteous and unholy we are, but God’s plan for us is to continually look at and keep our focus on Christ. The Bible says in Hebrews 3:1, “Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we c...

We need to understand that Adam’s blessing was in being obedient to God’s command of not eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam’s life was hidden in the tree of life, but our blessing is not hidden in the tree of life. Our blessing is hidden in Christ and walking in the fullness of Christ.   Here we must know that the Old Covenant failed because it was a covenant between God and man. In other words, both the parties had to work and be faithful to the covenant. For the success of the covenant, God had to play the part and He kept His covenant and was faithful to it. But the problem was with men, who could not work out their holiness and consequently failed to keep the covenant. However, under the  New Covenant , it is possible to keep and maintain holiness, because, now God the Father did not make the covenant with a man but with His Own Son, who represented mankind. So, this covenant became successful because in this covenant both the parts were played by God...

  OMNISCIENT (All-Knowing): The Father is All-Knowing If we study the Bible we understand the Father’s characteristic as omniscient, i.e. All-Knowing. Does that mean that the Son and the Holy Spirit are not omniscient? Absolutely not! Applying the above analogy of joint account of three persons i.e. husband, wife, and the child, we understand just as the Father is omniscient, so are the Son and the Holy Spirit, as they are all one, that is, having a joint account as John 17:10 tells us, “All I (the Son) have is yours (the Father) , and all you (the Father) have is mine (the Son). And glory has come to me (the Son) through them (one account-being).” So whatever the Son has, the Holy Spirit has and the Father also has the same. This is a clear example of sharing one account of three people. So, every characteristic that the Father has also belongs to the Son and the Holy Spirit. As John 16:15 tells us, “All that belongs to the Father is mine (the Son). That is why I said the...

  Even long before the creation fell into sin and fell short of the glory of God — the Triune God had a plan to shape and make our lives in Christ. The Bible says in 1 Peter1:19–20 “but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.” Here we can understand one thing about our God, that He has a solution even before a problem appears. On the contrary, human being looks for the solution after being into the problem. Keeping this in mind let us study the word Jeremiah 18:1–4 “This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” Here, the potter is God the Father who is working at t...

 Self Control is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit as Galatians 5:22 reveal us. Every believer must have the Spirit that produces self-control. King Solomon tells us in Proverbs 25:28, “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” A man who has self-control is like a city that is sealed, has protection and security under the power of the authority; whereas a man without self-control lacks not only protection and security but is vulnerable to outside danger. So, from where do we believers receive our model of being in self-control? We learn this from Jesus on the cross who did not lose His self-control before the self-esteemed and self-righteous Jews religious leaders. They hurled an insult at Him saying if He has the power to come down from the cross and then they would believe Him. Even when they challenged the power of Jesus, He did not succumb to their pressure because of His self-control. He was in total control of the situation, not giving up u...

I would like you to know about confession that means your spoken words are important. Where do we learn this from? We learn this from the Triune God who created the entire creation with His spoken word and held the entire creation with the power of His word. (Hebrews 11:3, 1:3)   From John 1:1, we observe that the spoken word of God is important to an extent that even Lord Jesus is addressed as the Word. That means the one who shapes the word so that it would not return void to God. In other words, they (the Triune God) would do everything only according to the Word and nothing out of the word. God is committed to His word. As the spoken word of God is important, in the same way your spoken words are of great importance. So, never speak negative words that can destroy your life but instead confess the Word of God. So, we must fill our hearts and mind with the word of God so that when you confess the Word then God would be committed to work in life according to His word. Confes...

THE ALL-POWERFUL GOD OMNIPOTENT (All-Powerful): The Son is All-Powerful The Son’s quality and characteristic is one of power and authority.  Matthew 28:18  states , “Then Jesus came to them and said , “ All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”  The Son is Omnipotent. We read the same in  Daniel 7:13–14 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” Does that mean that the Father and the Holy Spirit are not omnipotent? It is not like that. For more clarity now let us get back to our principle of ‘One account.’ (Everything that one has is owned by each and everyone (through one account) in God...

  Partake and Proclaim 1 Corinthians 11:26 also says, ‘You proclaim the Lord’s death.’ Now my question is to whom do we proclaim the Lord’s death? We don’t proclaim the Lord’s death to the world; we proclaim the Lord’s resurrection to the world. We declare Lord’s death to ourselves, to the parts of our body and say we are dead to sin because when a person is dead then that person can never sin. We all are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ. Partake Worthily! 1 Corinthians 11:27 “Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.”1 Corinthians 11:28 “A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.” When we partake of the table according to 1 Corinthians 11:27,28 then two words are of utmost importance which are ‘unworthy’ and ‘examine.’ The word ‘unworthy’ in Greek is ‘anaxious’ which also means ‘unsuitable’ or ‘not correspondi...

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” The word ‘arise’ in Hebrew is ‘qum’ which means ‘to be ‘established’. Now the question arises, what is to be established? We are to be established in the glory, which is the very foundation of our life. So, we ought to not only to be established in the glory but also move in this glory which is ever increasing. In other words, we are supposed to move from one level of glory to another level of glory. Isaiah 60:2 “See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.” The Lord rises upon you means we become the channel through which He begins to manifest Himself. That is why it is said in Ephesians 1:12–13 that we are the praise of His glory and His literal glory appears over us. Isaiah 60:3 “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” The verse explains the power, capability, and abi...
