God is holy and supreme. His ways are higher than humans and he sees and knows all. The document discusses several Bible verses highlighting God's holiness and discusses how this should impact humans. It says humans must consecrate themselves and be holy as God is holy. They should honor God with their lips, hearts and behavior, destroy idols, and let go of the world to receive God's abundant life. The document contrasts the spiritual person who draws near to God versus the carnal person and suggests an activity using a cross to illustrate how all fall short of God's standard of holiness.
In this lesson we show God's will for all mankind and the importance of doing His will. We examine the sermon on the mount. Both slides and audio can be found together at www.cmcoc.org
