Surely it is you who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet they all bow down, and from you receive instruction,… Deut33.3.NIV Brothers and Sister Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord Being Holy means to be separated from sinful life, we really have to take out our sandals which is our old life, the way of thinking and talking. Moses was ordered to take out His sandals because the place was Holy and also Joshua was ordered to take out His sandals. The commander of the LORDs army replied, Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy. And Joshua did so.… Josh5.15.NIV So Since we are surrounded by so many examples of faith, we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up. We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God Brothers and sisters, because of God’s compassion toward us, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you. Don’t become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants—what is good, pleasing, and perfect
