Free To Be Holy – “Perfect Love”
1 John 2:1a, 4:7-12
 
Before God made anything, God lived in perfect love. The Father loved the Son and the Spirit; the Son loved the Father and the Spirit; the Spirit loved the Father and the Son. God is love because God is the Trinity—one God in three persons, three persons who exist in eternal relationships of perfect love. God’s purpose for you and me is to make us participants in that perfect love. That love is not about striving to obey a list of rules for the sake of the rules, but about experiencing the love of God so fully that it fills us and overflows into the people around us.

    Free To Be Holy – “What Does God Want?”
    Leviticus 19
     
    At its heart, holiness is about our relationship with God-a relationship in which we come to share God’s character. We can say we love Jesus all we want, but if our behavior doesn’t embody that love in our relationships with others, then we’ve not understood God’s best for us. Holiness isn’t an internal disposition with no bearings on our eternal life. If we’re to share God’s character, that character must show up in our visible and exterior bodily life.

    Free To Be Holy – “What Are We Made For?”
    Genesis 1-3
     
    God made us in His image, which means that God made us to represent him - to embody his character and live in ways that reflect who God is. When God calls us to holiness, it means embodying God's image and doing it well.
