God's Purpose.

     From sin, then, in every sense and aspect, God is calling us. As exceeding sinful, the abominable thing which He hates and will avenge, He warns us against it. He speaks to us as "shapen in iniquity and conceived in sin," carrying evil about with us, nay, filled with it and steeped in it; not merely as diseased and requiring medicine, or unfortunate and requiring pity, but as guilty, under law, under sentence, dead in trespasses and sins, with inevitable judgment before us. He neither palliates nor aggravates our case, but calmly tells us the worst; showing us what we are, before calling us to be what He has purposed to make us. From all unholiness, from all uncleanness, from all unrighteousness, from all corruption, from all crooked ways, from all disobedience, from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, He is calling us, in Christ Jesus His Son.

     The Bible tells us that it is God's purpose for us to be holy, blameless, and irreproachable before Him. (Eph 1:4, 5:26-27; Col 1:22-23). Holiness is separation. As sinful humanity, we are filled with wickedness. Evil dwells within our hearts, and we act upon it. Jesus tells us that it is out of the heart that evil actions proceed (Mark 7:21-23). As stated above, this sin is an abomination to God, and instead of being poor unfortunate sinners deserving pity, we are vile guilty offenders of God's law, and deserve His wrath. Harsh words indeed, but it is the painful truth that we need to know if we are ever to be delivered from ourselves. As stated, God's ideal for us is to be holy, separated out of evil, and dedicated to the service of God. He calls on us to "Come out and be separate." (2 Cor 6:17). This is the call of God to renounce sin and self, to give it all up; to make a clean break, and to offer ourselves up into the service of God. We are called to follow Christ; to walk as Jesus walked, in holiness, love, and compassion. This is only made possible to us through Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that we might be forgiven our sins, and set free to walk in the purity He has called us to.  He is able to keep us from stumbling, and to make us stand in the presence of His glory,blameless, with great joy (Jude 1:24).
