Daily Walk Through the New Testament
January 30
Read Hebrews 2:5-3:6

In Hebrews 3:1, The Spirit of God inspired the writer to call believers “holy brethren.” If we’re honest, most of us would not look at our lives and choose “holy” as a fitting adjective. But the reality is, that’s exactly the way God sees those who are in Christ Jesus.
It’s not that He sees us as just trying to be holy or kind of holy,” we are as holy as Jesus in His sight. It’s not because we’ve demonstrated that kind of holiness in our lives in a practical way, but because positionally we are in Christ! That means all that He is has been imputed to us, and before God, we are as holy as we’ll ever be. After 10,000 years in heaven, God will not see us positionally any more holy than we are right now. There is nothing holier than Jesus, and that’s how God sees us! What amazing grace!
The same grace is enabling you to become holier in a practical sense too. Out of the overflow of intimacy with God, He changes you from the inside out. He begins to change your attitudes, actions, desires, relationships — literally every area of your life. And what comes out of your life is not a better you; it is literally Christ in you, and that is holiness! Someone once said it this way: “Holy is what we are, who we are, and what we become progressively as we pursue holiness on a daily basis.” Move forward in your pursuit of holiness today.
