Ambassadors of Holiness

Its been a long time since I've blogged but Im back and am hoping to get into it now on a much more rgular basis!

I am now a cadet at the Training College in the Ambassadors of Holiness session! Im very excited and at the same time a little daunted by our session name.

This is what an ambassador means:
A diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another, usually for a specific length of time.

So in my case I am chosen, accredited and appointed by God to be a representative of holiness to the unholy until i die.

Wow.

I know that I can not be holy on my own. But I do know that God provides us with all we need to be holy. In The Salvation Army we know it as "BLOOD AND FIRE!"

The Blood of Jesus washes away our sin and the fire of the Holy Spirit empowers us to live holy! We are justified (declared holy) at Salvation but at Sanctification we are made holy, that is our sinful nature is killed and instead we are controlled, compelled by the love of God!

God, make me holy and I will show others how to be holy!
