Title: The Importance of Holiness
The Bible exhorts the saints to live a separate life as follows.
“But be holy in all your conduct, just as the holy one who called you” (1 Peter 1:15).
Paul also said, “Fornication, and all unclean things, and greediness, shall not even call their names among you. This is fitting for the saints” (Ephesians 5:3).
Before God, believers must live a life that imitates the Lord.
Because the saints are the future and hope of society.
If a child is not sanctified and is swept away by all kinds of wrong things, the future of himself and the society will be bleak.
Therefore, the holiness education of individual members and children is very important.
Let's learn about the holiness education of our children.
1. God's absolute command
God has said to us, “Be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:45).
Paul also said, “Put on the new man, which after God was created in righteousness, truth, and holiness” (Ephesians 4:24).
As a “chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for his own possession” (1 Peter 2:9), believers must grow up according to God’s word.
And believers should not only seek holiness by themselves, but also educate their children about holiness.
This is because education at an early age is an important foundation for children to grow up and lead a social life.
If a child has not received proper holiness education from his parents, he will not be able to protect himself from temptation or temptation.
Therefore, believers must educate their children in holiness.
"God's work"---For Israel who left Rephidim and arrived in the wilderness of Sinai, God immediately began preparing for the taking of the law.
The text shows God's work of preparing the mind and spiritual preparation to become the "kingdom of God's priests" as the first step in such preparation.
God specially selected the people of Israel so that they could become a “kingdom of priests” and preach the gospel of the Lord.
Likewise, God especially loves us among sinners and has called us to preach the word of the Lord, so we must obey that command and become heirs of the great blessing that God has promised.

Yes Tue---a dedicated life
On one occasion, doctors did a thorough examination of his eyes.
Then, although it is not perfect, the result was that the light could be found if the operation cost a lot of money.
The first was that such money not only did not exist, but if there was, it would be provided for the visually impaired. Second, if he found Gwangmyeong, he would not be able to work with the visually impaired.
2. Growing into a prepared vessel
Paul said, “If anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will become a vessel for honor, sanctified and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work” (2 Timothy 2:21).
If you can't control yourself first, and live according to your own thoughts and methods, how will your child grow up and be valued?
Setting the example of holiness to your children and teaching them holiness is the way to prepare them properly.
The Bible says, “A whip and rebuke give wisdom, but if left alone, a child dishonors its mother” (Proverbs 29:15).
Parents must strive to raise sanctified and prepared children.
A child who has not been sanctified through the Word is never a ready vessel.
“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, tolerant, docile, full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality and without deceit” (James 3:17).
In other words, God's wisdom cannot but pursue holiness and must bear all kinds of fruits.
The members should work together with themselves to educate their children on holiness so that the kingdom of God can be realized in their homes.
Yes Tue---Everything is going well
The family is the nest of blessings that God has established.
When the home is peaceful and upright, everything automatically stands upright, and when the home tilts, everything tilts.
Home is the key. What you open with this key is important. Open the storehouse of love. Open the warehouse of trust. Open a storehouse of praise and encouragement. Close the warehouse of distrust and resentment.
Don't say, "Everything is going well" or "I can't live because I look like the house. Calm down the boiling anger, and say: “Our house has hope!”
