BACs are new creations in Christ, they have the Holy Spirit.
BACs have the whole counsel of God (the Bible).
BACs have been set free from being slaves of sin, etc.
“God’s will is for you to be holy … live in holiness and honor
… God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.
So, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is rejecting God.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8)
“God has given us everything we need to live a godly life …
work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen …
It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it
and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life” (2 Peter 1:3, 1:10, 2:21)
“God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness …
work at living a holy life, for those who are NOT holy will NOT see the Lord …
Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking.” (Hebrews 12:10-25)
“For I want you to understand what really matters,
so that you may live pure and blameless lives” (Philippians 1:10)
“For God saved us and called us to live a holy life.” (2 Timothy 1:9)
“He chose them to become like his Son (i.e. righteous and holy)” (Romans 8:29)
“… work towards complete holiness because we fear God” (2 Corinthians 7:1)
“… teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives.” (Titus 1:1)
Paul is writing only to “the faithful” (1:1), i.e. obedient, believers in Ephesus
“Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us
in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” (Ephesians 1:4)
“… throw off your old sinful nature … Put on your new nature,
created to be like God – truly righteous and holy.” (Ephesians 4:22-24)
“He did this to present her (the church) to himself as a glorious church
without spot or wrinkle or any other blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27)
● Believers have been chosen and called to be sanctified (set apart for holiness).
● This means they are called to CHOOSE to live holy consecrated lives!
● Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers CAN live holy lives.
