    The Pursuit of Holiness - Chris Wiggins | Inner City

    We must understand that to respond to God's invitation to come means we are coming to a Holy God. Isaiah had a powerful encounter with God's holiness in Isaiah 6, which is very helpful in understanding how we are to relate to Him and how we live our lives now. 1. We are called to a HOLY God Isaiah’s vision reveals a God who is HOLY, seated on His throne, high and lifted up. (Isaiah 6:1–4). God is absolutely pure, with no darkness in Him (1 John 1:5). When Isaiah encounters God’s holiness, he immediately recognises his own brokenness (Isaiah 6:5). God’s purity reveals our impurity. His holiness humbles us and exposes what we cannot hide (Hebrews 4:13). 2. We are MADE HOLY through Jesus In response to Isaiah's humility, God extends mercy. An angel comes forth from the presence of God with a coal from the altar to remove Isaiah's guilt and atone for his sin. (Isaiah 6:6–7). This points to the work of Jesus. Jesus has come forth from the presence of God, as THE sacrifice to remove our guilt and atone for our sin; He MAKES US HOLY before God (Hebrews 10:10, Ephesians 1:4). 3. We are called to live a holy life Being made holy is not the end of the story. We are also called to pursue a LIFE of holiness (1 Peter 1:14–16; Hebrews 12:14). In Isaiah's encounter, after being cleansed, he responds to God's call: “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8). Being made holy leads us into a life of purpose and service. 2 Timothy 2:20–22 calls us to cleanse OURSELVES, becoming vessels set apart for God, useful and ready for every good work. This means fleeing youthful passions and pursuing righteousness, faith, love and peace alongside others. God works in us, but we must partner with Him (Philippians 2:12–13). This affects how we use our time, what we consume, how we spend our money, our prayer life and the choices we make. God has prepared good works for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10). The question is whether we will set ourselves apart to walk in them.
