Holy table talk

what is god like? god is holy.

What is God like? God is holy. This means that He is absolutely and overwhelmingly perfect in every way. He is the source of all perfection. This is a problem for us as sinful human beings. We were made for God; but if we, sinful human beings, came before the holy God we would be destroyed. We must be made holy before we can be with God.

Head Heart

In 2 Corinthians 5:21 we see that Jesus is the ultimate solution to our unholiness.

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God”. That is a startling and amazing verse that teaches us that Jesus took or sin from us and put it on himself when He died on the cross and in turn gave us His righteousness. Sometimes we forget how surprising and amazing a gift our salvation is. Spend some time as a group/family thanking God for sending his Son to “become sin” for us so that we could be made holy.

James 5:16 urges us to confess our sins to each other and pray for each other. With that in mind, where do you think that you most need to grow in holiness at this point in your life? Spend some time praying together as a family/group for the Holy Spirit to help you grow in holiness.

Based on how you answered the previous question what is one thing you need to either remove or add to your life in order to obey the command to be holy?

Being a follower of Jesus is something we cannot (and should not try to) do alone. We are given a local body to help us. This week pray for one person from your family or group. Then reach out to him/her and ask how their hands challenge (from the previous question) is going.

isaiah 6:1-6

Here we see the response a sinful human being has in the presence of the holy God.

When you think of God how often are you deeply aware of your own sinfulness like Isaiah was? Why do you think that is?
