Revelation 22:6-15
Revelation 22:11

“… he that is holy,
let him be holy still.”

LET HIM BE HOLY STILL

We are living in the end-times. Whether you believe it or not, this world is getting worse and worse morally and spiritually. There is no neutral ground. There are only two ways, either the narrow way of sanctification leading to eternal life or the broad way of compromise and ungodliness leading to destruction (Matt 7:13-14). If you are a born-again believer, you are a child of God and a sheep of the Lord’s pasture. You must keep being sanctified to be like Christ more and more each day. If you are not born again, you are like a goat, You will keep living in sin and ungodliness due to your sinful nature, the ungodly trends of the world, and the temptations and deception from the wicked one, even Satan, who “is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev 12:12).

God’s Word confirms: “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still” (Rev 22:11). Truly, the Lord Jesus says, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold… But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matt 24:12, 37). What about the days of Noah? The holy God had to destroy the whole world except Noah and his family because “GOD saw
that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen 6:5). What’s more, “But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:29-30). What about Sodom? The holy God had to destroy this wicked city “because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous” (Gen 18:20). The grievous sin of Sodom is homosexuality! The world we live in today is exactly like that wicked world! However, God’s true children and servants must press on in the narrow way of sanctification to be more and more holy each day until Jesus comes again which is very soon! What about you?

THOUGHT: Am I walking in the narrow way of sanctification?
PRAYER: Lord, may I grow more and more holy each day.
