Be Ye Holy

Nov 2, 2025    Pastor John Guillory

This powerful message centers on a call to biblical holiness that transforms how we live every single day. Drawing primarily from 1 Peter 1:14-17 and 2 Timothy 3:14-17, we're challenged to understand that holiness isn't about perfection—it's about alignment with God's character. The core truth is unmistakable: God commands us to 'be holy as I am holy,' not as a suggestion but as a requirement for those who claim to follow Christ. What makes this message so convicting is its honest assessment of modern Christianity—we've become so much like the world that our lives no longer preach a different message. The scripture reminds us that God's Word was given not just to comfort us, but to correct us, reprove us, and train us in righteous living. Holiness is described as a conscious choice to separate ourselves from anything that contradicts God's Word, whether it's our attitudes, behaviors, or the company we keep.
