Genesis 2:3 - “holy”
When God blesses us, He makes us holy. He has not given to us the
forgiveness of our sins and left us just the way we were before we came
in faith to Christ. We come to the Saviour – “Just as I am” – but do not
remain the same. God has given us new life – the life of the Holy
Spirit. From the moment we receive God’s forgiveness, we begin our new
journey on the High Way of holiness (Isaiah 35:8). We will often wander
away from this High Way, but the Lord keeps on bringing us back. He
brings us back to the Cross where we find forgiveness. He brings us back
to the risen Lord, who empowers us for walking with God in holy living.
When we see that our forgiveness and holiness comes from Jesus Christ,
crucified for us and risen for us, we give all the glory to God. This is
not our own doing. It is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes (Psalm 118:23).
