Restoration of Glory in Personality (Character).

Holiness is one way of revealing the glory of God. You cannot achieve holiness all by yourself; for your righteousness is like a filthy rag before God. But  you have been made holy, blameless and unreproveable before God. For you to manifest the glory of God in character, you must know His personality.
Isaiah 6:3; Holy, holy, holy is the lord of host. You can clearly see that God is holy in is nature; therefore to manifest glory in personality, you have to have to live a perpetual holy life.
    You must live in the consciousness; that when you live a holy life, you are showing forth God's glory. Even as you have been justified, also make conscious effort to avoid sin. How shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Romans 6:1. Your future is too glorious for you to be playing with sin. If  you want to experience glory, then you must avoid sin, especially the sin immorality. You must crucify the flesh with all its affections, Galatians 5:24.
    By the new covenant which Jesus established by his blood, you have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all, Hebrews 10:10. Your past sins are forgiven and are no longer remembered. As soon as you invite Jesus into your heart, you become a new creation, and a new life was established in you. You must no longer see yourself as a miserable wretched sinner. You are sanctified and justified by the blood of Jesus.
    You are now a candidate of heaven and of eternal life, not by strength or personal effort, but by the free grace of God. You have been made holy by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The day you receive him into your life as lord and saviour, all your sins were forgiven and washed away. All the wrongs you ever committed are now hidden by the blood. You are made holy, unblameable and unreproveable in the sight of God. You can now boldly come into the throne room of the Most High God anytime with feeling of guilt, because you are holy in His sight.
    Your practice of holy living is made possible when your love is the consciousness of God's presence. The moment your mind lose consciousness of God, then you are capable of doing any evil thing. God is light; and in light nothing is hidden. Let your mind always recall that the Lord is watching you and as such, place a check on your attitude.
