Innumerable profit awaits you if you labour to live a consecrated life, as there is profit In every labour The Bible says:
exalteth a nation: but sin is d reproach to any people.Righteousness,exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34
Whereas sin brings a curse, righteousness brings blessings. Psalm 1 12:1-3 tells us:
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.Praiseye the
Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Righteousness is usually in place wherever you see God's blessings. While the wages of sin is death, the wages of righteousness is life more abundant. There is a lot more rewards and pleasure in righteousness than there is in sin so sign up to live a holy life today. Let me show you some of the things you stand to gain when you live right before God:
Living a sanctified life is the biblical proof of your redemption. The Bible tells us that we shall be known by the kind of fruits we bear (Matt. 7:16-23). Also, if truly you are born again, living a holy and sanctified life is what is required of you, as the old is expected to have passed away, and the new come in its/ place (2 Cor. 5:17).
Purity guarantees divine presence, which makes all the difference in life. Jesus said, "He that sent me is qäth me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him" (Jn. 8:29). Jesus always enjoyed divine presence.
Joseph lived a holy life in the fear of the Lord. That was why God was always with him, whether as a slave in Potiphar's house or as a prisoner in the prison. He prospered and enjoyed favour everywhere he went, because he lived a righteous life. Living a life consecrated unto God guarantees His presence always with you.
you are guaranteed answers to prayers also. The Psalmist said, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Ps. 66:18). God's hand is not short to save, nor His ears too heavy to hear us when we call upon Him; but He can't hear or deliver us because of iniquity (Isa. 59:1-2). But when we live righteous lives, we are guaranteed speedy answers to prayers when we call upon Him.
Another virtue of sanctification is access to the fresh anointing. That is because God loves righteousness and hates wickedness.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psalm 45:7
When you love righteousness and hate wickedness, you are open to the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says in Luke 5:38 that new wine must be put in a new wine bottle. Therefore, if you want the new anointing, then you need a renewal of your lifestyle.
Purity also guarantees access to revelation and divine secrets. Job was a man that feared God and eschewed evil. As a result, he had access to the secrets of God (Job 1:1-3; 29:1-4). The fear of God gives you access to divine secrets.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Psalm 25:14
Living a sanctified life guarantees access to honour.
But in a great house there are not only vessels ofgold and ofsilver, but also ofwood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 2 Timothy 2:.20-21
You live an honourable life when you live a righteous life.
Remember that righteousness exalts; it doesn't bring down.
Above all, purity guarantees eternity with Christ in heaven. Remember that it's appointed unto man once to die, and after that judgment (Heb. 9:27), and Revelation 21•.8 and 27 lists out those that can never enter heaven. It take sanctification to have a place with God in heaven. You shall not miss your place in heaven.
Without holiness, nothing works - no revelation, no answers to prayers, you lack divine presence, and so on. There are yet other rewards of righteousness.
