Holiness By Deliverance
Obadiah 1:17 – But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; … (KJV)
Holiness is a product of deliverance. One in captivity is subject to the deeds of his or her captor just like a slave have no say of his or her actions. The Israelites ate the food and drank the water that was made available unto them by their task masters. This is what captivity can bring.
The Lord has declared that He will deliver you, I and everyone that maybe in captivity of any kind. Just the same way He brought out the Israelites, Jehovah will deliver us with His mighty arms – Psalm 89:13, Deuteronomy 4:34.
The grace of God will locate us. Jehovah will deliver us from every captor (habits, issues etc) that has held our life in captivity and deprivation. The grace to be holy will locate us all.
Beloved as the Lord delivers us from the captors of our lives that had subjected us into an unholy life; we should make it our aim to live a holy life by our pragmatism of the Word and living in/following the Holy Spirit.
Shalom!
