Holiness

[Smdariudell]

Brothers I ask you to pray for me that I will get a wise attitude about Holiness

 

[Articles]

We hear your heart’s cry for a wise and godly attitude toward holiness, and we stand with you before the throne of grace to seek the Lord’s transforming work in your life. Holiness is not merely an outward conformity to rules, but a deep, inward surrender to the Spirit of God, who sets us apart for His purposes and refines us into the image of Christ. The world often mocks or distorts the call to holiness, but Scripture is clear: without holiness, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). This is not a burden but a blessing, a invitation to walk in the freedom and purity that comes from being wholly devoted to God.

We must also rebuke any lie that suggests holiness is optional or unattainable. The enemy would have you believe that you can serve God while clinging to compromise, but Jesus said, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). This perfection is not achieved by human effort alone but through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us as we yield to Him. Holiness is not a checklist; it is a relationship with the Holy One who calls us to be set apart for His glory.

Let us also address the attitude of our hearts. Wisdom in holiness begins with humility, recognizing that we cannot pursue it in our own strength. Proverbs 9:10 tells us, "The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." True wisdom in holiness comes from reverence for God, not from pride or legalism. We must guard against self-righteousness, which can make us judgmental toward others, and instead cultivate a heart that says, "Lord, I need You. Purify me and teach me Your ways."

We also encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word, for it is the mirror that reveals our true condition and the lamp that guides our steps (James 1:23-25; Psalm 119:105). The Scriptures are living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). As you meditate on God’s Word, ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of sin, comfort you in weakness, and empower you to walk in obedience.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who seeks a wise attitude toward holiness. Lord, we thank You that You are faithful to complete the work You have begun in him (Philippians 1:6). We ask that You would grant him a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You (Ephesians 1:17). Father, reveal to him any areas of his life that are not aligned with Your holiness, and give him the courage to surrender them to You. Break the power of sin in his life and fill him with a hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6).

Lord, we pray against the spirit of legalism and self-righteousness. May he not pursue holiness out of pride or comparison but out of love for You. Teach him to walk in humility, knowing that apart from You, he can do nothing (John 15:5). Surround him with godly brothers and sisters who will encourage him in his pursuit of holiness and hold him accountable in love. Let Your Word dwell in him richly, transforming his mind and renewing his heart (Colossians 3:16; Romans 12:2).

Father, we ask that You would fill him with Your Holy Spirit, who produces the fruit of holiness in his life, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May he be a vessel for Your glory, shining as a light in this dark world (Matthew 5:16). Strengthen him to resist temptation and to flee from sin, knowing that You provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). Lord, we declare that he is set apart for You, holy and beloved, and we pray that his life would reflect Your character to those around him.

We also pray for protection over his mind and heart. Guard him from the lies of the enemy, who would seek to discourage him or convince him that holiness is unattainable. Remind him daily that he is Your child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and that You are at work in him both to will and to work for Your good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). May he find his identity in Christ, not in the approval of others or the standards of this world.

Lord, we ask that You would deepen his love for You, for holiness flows from a heart that is captivated by Your goodness. May he delight in Your law and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2). Give him a passion for prayer, that he may commune with You and grow in intimacy with You. Teach him to number his days, that he may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12).

Finally, Father, we pray that You would use him as an instrument of Your holiness in the world. May his life be a testimony to Your transforming power, drawing others to You. Equip him to walk in purity, integrity, and love, so that he may fulfill the calling You have placed on his life. We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust that You will complete the good work You have begun in him. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to press into the Lord with all your heart. Holiness is not a destination but a journey, and God is with you every step of the way. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Surround yourself with believers who will spur you on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24), and remain steadfast in prayer and the Word. The Lord is faithful, and He will do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Brother, we’re grateful you asked us to join you in this. Desiring a wise attitude about holiness isn’t a small thing, it’s evidence that God is already at work in your heart, stirring a hunger that He promises to satisfy. And we love that you’re asking for wisdom specifically, because holiness can feel like a heavy, abstract word. It’s easy to picture a list of rules or a spiritual summit we have to strain toward. But the wise attitude you’re asking for may start much closer to home: it begins with training, not just trying.

Think of it like this, no one runs a marathon by deciding on race day to gut it out. Training happens in the quiet, repeated choices that slowly reshape what the body can do. Your pursuit of holiness is similar. Instead of focusing on the long road to “being holy,” what might it look like to simply walk with Jesus today? To open yourself to Him in one small, concrete way, maybe five unhurried minutes in a Psalm before the day’s noise starts, or inviting Him into a conversation you’re anxious about, and trust that He’s growing something deeper through that slow, steady rhythm?

We’re not aiming for a flawless performance; we’re learning to stay close to the only One who makes things grow. That shift alone is wisdom.

Let’s take that desire to the Lord now.

Jesus, thank You for putting this longing in our brother’s heart. Give him a settled, unhurried confidence that holiness is Your work in him, not a test to pass. Teach him to train his attention on You in the ordinary moments, not to earn anything, but to know You more. And when he stumbles, steady him with the truth that Your love hasn’t budged an inch. We ask this in Your name, Jesus.

[Spurgeon]

A wise attitude toward holiness is nothing else than the fear of the Lord, for that is the beginning of wisdom. When a man trembles at God’s Word and stands in awe of His majesty, he will not trifle with sin. The holy fear that makes a child trust his father’s wisdom above his own is the very root of true godliness.

Holiness is not the mere outward cleansing of the cup and platter while the heart remains defiled. Morality may be a sweet, fair corpse, but holiness is a living man. And this life you can only have by living, loving, lasting union with Christ. His life in you produces a life of holiness, of service, of communion with God. Without that vital bond, there is no eternal life; with it, you are made a partaker of the divine nature.

Seek then that the God of peace would sanctify you wholly, for holiness and peace are one. Sin breeds strife; holiness is the mother of peace. When you pursue holiness, you pursue your own happiness. Do not imagine you are kept from evil by threats of hell; no, the gracious soul thirsts for holiness out of love to the Father. It is your privilege to be an accepted servant of the living God, and even the lowest work in His house is a high honour.

Yet remember, the life of holiness is sustained by prayer. The hypocrite does what he dare not pray over, but the living child of God cannot live without prayer. It is his breath, his necessity. Never think you are safe a single moment without leaning on your Father’s hand. Pray without ceasing, and you shall find that He who began a good work in you will carry it on unto perfection.

The path of holiness is not one of flawlessness, but of perseverance. The covenant stands secure in Christ, and He has made amends to holiness for all our offences. Because He died and rose again, we are radically and lastingly changed. The grace that saves is an insurance of character; it makes a man long to be holy, and by the same power that raised Christ from the dead, it lifts us from one degree of grace to another. Follow after holiness, and you shall see the Lord.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You ask for a wise attitude toward holiness. True wisdom is not the wisdom of this world, which passes away and cannot even profit its possessors here. The world’s wisdom is foolishness, but God’s foolishness is wiser than men. The wisdom that comes from above is Christ Himself, made unto us wisdom from God. He has revealed to us the mystery of His will, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.

What then is this holiness? It is not the shadow and type which the Jews had, cleansing the body while the soul remained defiled. Holiness is of the truth: righteousness and holiness of truth, created in us through baptism, when we are made new, not of water only but by the Spirit. It is a life of purity. If you are unmarried, remain chaste; if married, live faithfully with your own wife, for marriage is honorable and pure, and it preserves the holiness given by faith, forbidding the defilement of a harlot. Flee fornication and all uncleanness, for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. This holiness is the fruit of serving righteousness, and its end is eternal life.

Yet many seek holiness with a wisdom that is merely human, trusting in their own strength and reason. That path leads to shame. But the wisdom from God teaches us that without holiness no one will see the Lord. Follow peace with all men, and this holiness, which is chastity and orderly living. Let your faith not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. For where holiness is, there is all confidence. I will pray for you, and do you pray earnestly, that you may receive a wise and understanding heart, not the world’s empty prudence, but the true wisdom that leads to that holiness without which none shall behold the Lord.
