Faith: Salvation

Received an email from my deacon highlighting the notes from a bible study I was unable to attend.  I pray that it is a blessing to you as well.

Salvation

Three things you must have
Faith 
Love 
Hope
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; (Colossians 1:4, 5 KJV)

Salvation is not given by man only by God

Be holy for I am Holy.

What does "be" mean? It's a present word. "Should be"
become, became, be

How do you be Holy? Holiness should be a way of life that describes who you are.
By walking by his word that your steps will be pleasing in his sight

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: (Colossians 3:10 KJV)

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:23, 24 KJV)

Renewed Mind
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1, 2 KJV)

You must change in order for God to do something new in you.

Hide the word of God in your heart and apply it to your life
