You show that you are Christ’s letter, delivered by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God. —2 Corinthians 3:3
What does your life reflect to those around you? Do your attitudes, words, and behavior give others an accurate picture of God? Or do you sometimes profane His holiness—by a complaining or controlling spirit, harsh or angry words, or laughing at off-color humor? It saddens me to think of how often I have given others a distorted perception of God.
Because God is holy, we must be holy. And because God is holy, we can be holy. If you’re a child of God, He lives in you. He is the standard and the source for your holiness. He can wash your unholy heart with the blood of Jesus and make you clean—so the world will know what He is like.
What an astounding privilege—that the Holy One should choose us, flawed as we are, that He should cleanse us from our sins, fill us with His Holy Spirit, and then use us to reflect the splendor of His holiness in this dark world.
