HYMN CALLED UNTO HOLINESS (GHS 190)
CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190] 1. “Called unto holiness,” Church of our God. Purchased of Jesus, redeemed by His blood; Called from the world and its idols to flee, Called from the bondage of sin to be free.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” Is our watchword and song, “Holiness unto the Lord,” As we’re marching along; Sing... it, shout it, loud ... and long. “Holiness unto the Lord,” Now and for ever.
CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190] 2. “Called unto holiness,” children of Light, Walking with Jesus in garments of white; Raiment unsullied, nor tarnished with sin, God’s Holy Spirit abiding within.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” Is our watchword and song, “Holiness unto the Lord,” As we’re marching along; Sing... it, shout it, loud ... and long. “Holiness unto the Lord,” Now and for ever.
CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190] 3. “Called unto holiness,” praise His dear name, This blessed secret to faith now made plain, Not our own righteousness, but Christ within, Living and reigning, and saving from sin.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” Is our watchword and song, “Holiness unto the Lord,” As we’re marching along; Sing... it, shout it, loud ... and long. “Holiness unto the Lord,” Now and for ever.
CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190] 4. “Called unto holiness,” glorious thought! Up from the wilderness wanderings brought Out from the shadows and darkness of night Into the Canaan of perfect delight.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” Is our watchword and song, “Holiness unto the Lord,” As we’re marching along; Sing... it, shout it, loud ... and long. “Holiness unto the Lord,” Now and for ever.
CALLED UNTO HOLINESS [GHS 190] 5. “Called unto holiness,” Bride of the Lamb Waiting the Bridegroom’s returning again; Lift up your heads, for the day draweth near. When in His beauty the King shall appear.
“Holiness unto the Lord,” Is our watchword and song, “Holiness unto the Lord,” As we’re marching along; Sing... it, shout it, loud ... and long. “Holiness unto the Lord,” Now and for ever. END OF HYMN

RECAP OF OUR LAST STUDY “Redemption through Christ”: Every unconverted person is a slave to sin and urgently needs rescue. The Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood to redeem all mankind. One becomes a beneficiary of Christ’s redemption through repentance, forgiveness and cleansing by His blood. As believers, we enjoy His divine protection, daily victory over satanic forces and access to God’s presence. However, we must abide in these benefits of redemption, pray and watch till the end to get to heaven.
TODAY’S STUDY:LESSON 761: CALL AND COMMITMENT TO PERFECTION MEMORY VERSE: …… “Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus” (Colossians 1:28). TEXT:Colossians 1:21-29
INTRODUCTION Adam’s sin introduced the principle of sin to all mankind. Through Christ’s death, we have redemption, whereby we are reconciled with God. The intention is for us to be presented on the last day without blame in the sight of God. For this to happen, we must continue in the faith, grounded and settled. We should not be moved away from the hope of the true, universal and unchanging gospel, which we have heard. We should walk in God’s holy principles; we must walk in perfection. Christ must remain in us as the hope of glory. The aim of Christian ministry is to preserve believers in holiness.
THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN PERFECTIONColossians 1:21,22,28; Luke 1:74,75 To be perfect is to be complete, “wanting (or lacking) nothing”. It is to be faultless, flawless or mature. Christian perfection is not God’s exclusive attributes of absolute perfection, infallibility (incapable of making a mistake), or perfect knowledge. Rather, it is deliverance from sin (Luke 1:74,75), upright life (Job 1:1,8), freedom inward sin (Romans 6:6,7), perfect love and full maturity. It is all by God’s grace. • QUESTION 1: What is the literal meaning of the word ‘perfection’? • QUESTION 2: What do you understand by Christian perfection? – Deut. 30:6; 2 Cor. 6:17,18; 1 Peter 1:13-16.
THE CALL TO CHRISTIAN PERFECTIONColossians 1:22-27; Genesis 17:1 The aim of redemption is to present us faultless before God. We are called out of the enticing pleasure of the world to take our salvation seriously. We should be diligent to renounce the old life of lying, envy, hatred, quarrel and walk consistently in purity. We are called to be like God. We are called, not unto uncleanness like the world around us, but unto holiness like the One who has called us (1 Thes. 4:7; 1 Peter 1:16). To achieve this, we must yield our lives unto God. • QUESTION 3: Why are Christians called to perfection? – Matthew 5:8,48; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:14-16.
COMMITMENT UNTO CHRISTIAN PERFECTIONColossians 1:28,29 The gospel ministry is to perfect believers. Paul preached deliverance from the power of sin and the power of the devil. He taught the translation of believers from Satan’s kingdom into the Kingdom of God. He warned believers against sin and its every appearance, against error and its teachers, against backsliding and self deception. He kept back nothing that was profitable. Our ministers, individual believers and the entire Church should labour to uphold the truth. • QUESTION 4:Describe the role of sound doctrine in the perfection of believers – Colossians 1:28; Acts 20:32; Ephesians 4:11-13.
CONCLUSION God’s grace has called us from sin to present us in holiness before God. It is our duty to renounce the old life and yield our lives to God so He can perfect His work in us. Christian perfection means to be without fault, to be free from sin and inward corruption. It is to be perfect in love, to be mature. God demands holiness from us because He is holy. We are made perfect through the ministry of the Word: teaching and warning us in wisdom until God’s glory is perfected in us.

BIBLE READING 2 Cor. 4:13-18
HYMN LIVING BY FAITH
LIVING BY FAITH 1. I care not today what the morrow may bring, If shadow or sunshine or rain, The Lord I know ruleth o’er everything, And all of my worries are vain.
Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
LIVING BY FAITH 2. Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise, Obscuring the brightness of life, I’m never alarmed at the overcast skies The Master looks on at the strife.
Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
LIVING BY FAITH 3. I know that He safely will carry me through, No matter what evils betide; Why should I then care though the tempest may blow, If Jesus walks close to my side.
Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
LIVING BY FAITH 4. Our Lord will return for His loved ones someday, Our troubles will then all be o’er; The Master so gently will lead us away, Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
END OF HYMN Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
