Matthew 5:6

Jeremiah 2:13

1 John 2:15-17

I. Pursue Holiness

a. “But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like Himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God.” ― Jerry Bridges

b. 1 John 1:5

II. Holiness Brings Happiness

a. “If knowing God, enjoying God, and becoming like God is our highest desire, then the fulfilling of that desire will bring us the highest happiness.” - Warren Wiersbe

Application:

1) Remember to give your best to God
2) Remember your first love
3) Remember that God can do more in a moment that you can in a lifetime

“If we don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.” – John Piper
