Speaker:
00:00:00
This is the brief on pursuing
Holiness as outlined by Marcel Hall.
2
:
00:00:05
So Marcel Hall throws down
this challenge, right?
3
:
00:00:09
He calls it a holy reset.
4
:
00:00:12
The idea is, uh, if we're not chasing
purity, our faith can get kind of murky.
5
:
00:00:17
You know, like that dark beach water.
6
:
00:00:19
Basically holiness needs to come
before just chasing happiness.
7
:
00:00:24
Okay?
8
:
00:00:24
So how do we actually do this?
9
:
00:00:27
Holy reset.
10
:
00:00:28
Well, Marcel gives us
three immediate steps.
11
:
00:00:31
First, get this, holiness isn't some
extra thing you tack onto your faith.
12
:
00:00:37
Nope.
13
:
00:00:38
It's the actual lifestyle that flows
from belonging to a God who is holy.
14
:
00:00:44
Think about first Peter.
15
:
00:00:45
Prepare your minds.
16
:
00:00:46
Stay clearheaded and don't
fall back into those old ways.
17
:
00:00:50
Remember, God's standard is himself.
18
:
00:00:52
Be holy because I am holy.
19
:
00:00:55
Second, this reset has
gotta cover everything.
20
:
00:00:59
The command is be holy in all you do.
21
:
00:01:02
So, yeah, this isn't just
a Sunday morning deal.
22
:
00:01:05
It's your whole life.
23
:
00:01:06
Every single corner under Christ.
24
:
00:01:09
That means looking at your worldview,
how you talk, your relationships.
25
:
00:01:12
Even like what you watch your post online.
26
:
00:01:15
Just ask yourself, does this reflect
God's Holiness Simple check, right?
27
:
00:01:20
Finally, and this one's pretty crucial.
28
:
00:01:22
Marcel says, we gotta reset the
question instead of always wondering,
29
:
00:01:26
okay, is this technically a sin?
30
:
00:01:29
We should be asking?
31
:
00:01:30
Is this holy?
32
:
00:01:32
That simple switch helps guide us
toward making genuinely righteous
33
:
00:01:35
choices, lining up with who we are
already are in Christ, thanks to his
34
:
00:01:38
perfection and the spirit's power in us.
35
:
00:01:41
Ultimately, this Holy Reset is all
about getting aligned with God's
36
:
00:01:45
own nature, empowered by his spirit,
not just trying harder on our own.
