HOLINESS

Exodus 28:36 (NKJV) 36 "You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 
   A child cried, “They won’t play with me,” the mother coaxed the others to try and play with her child, she then observed, when her child was near the others he would intentionally hit, causing the others to move away. The will do be a part must come with the desire to co-operate.
    In the verse above God desires that we represent Holiness in every area of our lives. The wearing of Holiness on the breast plate does not produce the desired results, it must come from within the individual. Many today get tattoos on their bodies, the mark is skin deep, it represents what the wearer believes or embraces, however it is a worldly symbol of an ancient craft, “Meaning I am owned by the one who made the mark.”
  Christianity cannot be marked indelibly by man, it must come from the One who makes everyone clean through the shedding of His own pure blood. Jesus is the only way into Eternity, the stamp of Holiness must come through His word, the breast plate of righteousness is given by the Lord of Glory.
Heavenly Father we are yours in every way, nothing in our lives produces Holiness but you. May we live this day as those set apart, purchased with the most valuable commodity of all, The Blood of The Lamb. Amen
