A Call to Holy Living
by Ronnie Hewitt
“For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, whoever disregards this instruction, disregards not man but God, Who gives His Holy Spirit to you.” – (1 Thes. 4:7-8; ESV)
A proper perspective of one’s self fosters sound judgment in the way one lives; this begins with one’s surrender and submission to Jesus. However, an enlarged ego clouds our judgment.
God desires that every believer lead a righteous life. 2 Tim. 2:22 says, “Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” (ESV)

As an immature new Christian, I wanted to make sure other Christians saw me doing Christian things. My identity was more in the approval of Christians than from my acceptance in Christ. Looking back, embarrassingly so — I remember dining in a restaurant with my family and proudly asking a blessing when the food was served to our table.
