TOPIC: Be Holy! [Open Heaven for Teens 26 October 2023]
MEMORISE: He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, Nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:4
BIBLE TEXT: Psalms 24:3-6
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
MESSAGE:
Our Bible reading for today shows us some fundamental requirements for an acceptable walk with God. The first is clean hands; if your hands are defiled, you cannot walk with God.
What defiles a person’s hands? Sin and illicit premarital sex or masturbation. Proverbs 6:27-29 Says:
“Can a man take fire in his bosom. And his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, And his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.”
Only a person with a pure heart can effectively and acceptably walk with God. 1 John 1:7-9 says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. May the Lord deliver you from anything that works against your walk with Him, in Jesus’ name. The act of walking with God is not a call to relate with Him as His equal but one of total submission to His authority and an absolute commitment to follow Jesus. This was made clear in Luke 9:23 and Philippians 2:12. Determination to serve God in holiness, righteousness, in spirit, and in truth creates the right foundation for walking with the Lord.

HYMN 12 – Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
1 Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!
2 Holy, Holy, Holy!
All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea:
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art,
And evermore shalt be.
3 Holy, Holy, Holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy:
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4 Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise
Thy name, in earth and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 11-12
