Brethren and Friends, Jim Sasser here.  Here is another study
from my ancient files.  Use to the glory of God.

HOLINESS

1. Christians Are A Holy Priesthood: -- 1 Pet. 2:5, "Ye also, as
    lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priest-
    hood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
    Jesus Christ."

2. Christians Are A Holy Nation: -- 1 Pet. 2:9, "But ye are a
    chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a pe-
     culiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him
     who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous
     light."

3. God Required Israel To Be Holy: -- Lev. 11:45, "For I am the
    Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be
    your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy."

4. We Are To Worship God In Holiness: -- 1 Chron. 16:29, 
    "Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; bring an
    offering, and come before Him; worship the Lord in the 
     beauty of holiness."

5. We Should Increase In Holiness: -- 2 Cor. 7:1, "Having 
    therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse
    ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfect-
     ing  holiness in the fear of God."

6. Holiness Is In Christ: -- Eph. 4:24, "And that ye put on the 
    new man, which after God is created in righteous and true
    holiness."

7. No Man Can See The Lord Without Holiness: -- Heb. 12:14,
    "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no
     man shall see the Lord."  1 Pet. 1:15,16, "But as He which
     hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of con-
     versation; because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy."

8. We Are To Cultivate Holiness In View Of The End Of Time: -
    2 Pet. 3:11, "Seeing then that all these things shall be dis-
    solved, wht manner of persons ought we to be in all holy
    conversation and godliness."

9. It Is Christ's Purpose That We Be Holy: -- Col. 1:22, "In the
    body of His flesh, through death, to present you holy and
    unblameable and unreprovable in His sight."

10. The Fruit Of Holiness: -- Rom. 6:22, "But now being made
      free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your
      fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."

11. We Are Called Unto Holiness: -- 1 Thes. 4:7, "For God 
      hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."

12. The Holy Ones Shall Dwell In The Holy Hill: -- Psa. 15:1-5,
      "Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?  Who may 
      dwell in Your holy hill?  He who walks uprightly, And 
      works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;
      He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil
      to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against
      his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But
      he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his
      own hurt and does not change; He who does not put out
      his money to usury, No does he take a bribe against the
      innocent.  He who does these things shall never be 
      moved."

Conclusion:  Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
                     Abide in Him always, And feed on His word.
