Holiness is Freedom: Part 6
As God calls us into holiness he is also calling us away from a love of the world. To no longer pursue the things the world values, but purse Christ. Living that out and knowing how to pursue the right things can be really difficult. Thankfully God doesn’t leave us alone to figure this out.
Read 1 John 2:15-17
- In verse 16 what does John tell us are the things of this world that our hearts and minds long for? Talk about each one and give examples of what those things are in real life
- When it comes to how you spend your “free” time, or “checking out” time, where do you think you let some of the desires of the world creep into your mind and heart?
Read Romans 12:1-2
- Worship is the way we walk out of sin and into holiness. But how does verse 2 tells us to pursue holiness practically?
- How does having your mind transformed and testing the goodness of God work in real life?
- What things do you think you need to give up, or give far less to so that your mind won’t be transformed to be like the world, but transformed into the holiness of Christ?
