My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: (Proverbs 3:21)
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. (Hebrews 2:1)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The danger of taking lightly the call to holiness

Paul and the writer of Hebrews both emphasize the importance of diligently attending to the things we have heard in the Word of God, as a consequence of the greatness of God's plan and our call to holiness. We must be careful not to slip away from our commitment to the Lord and to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Holiness is not an option for God's children, but a necessary commitment in the fight against the current of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We must make a daily resolution to serve the Lord with holiness and integrity, with the understanding that we have a precious salvation that we cannot neglect. Read more...

Joaquin Damas : Very interesting topic, holiness, keeping ourselves for God's blessings.
Hello Joaquín! I'm glad you found the topic of holiness and guarding our hearts for God interesting. As Hebrews 2:1 mentions, it's crucial to pay close attention to what we've heard about holy living, as we can stray if we don't remain firm in our commitment to the Lord. May God bless you in your pursuit of holiness!
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : How interesting this study of the Word of the Lord by Pastor Miranda is. We must live in holiness, because we can easily lose the crown of life because of our way of living. And His Word says that without holiness, no one will see the Lord. Of course, we are constantly in a battle with the flesh, because of the attractions the world offers us. But we must stand firm in the Lord, because we can easily fall. May God keep you and bless you always, for always sending us His word.
Hello Rodolfo Manuel! It's true that studying the Word of the Lord, like the one Pastor Miranda shares with us, invites us to live in holiness and remain firm in our faith. As you mention, the struggle against the flesh and the world's attractions is constant, but with God's help we can persevere and stay on His path. Remember the importance of staying focused on holiness in order to experience the Lord's presence. May God bless you and always keep you in your Christian journey!
