“ The Tesserae of Holiness ” Time and again our Father God tells us to be holy because He is holy. In this sermon Dodson tells us that we are tesserae in God’s mosaic & reminds us that obedience is worship (Romans 12:1). We are comforted to know that God’s grace proceeds His commands; we can be obedient through the power of God. He has set us apart for His holy purpose, for Himself.
Dodson gives us an awesome boil down, a yardstick for obedient living: Matthew 22:36–39 and Galatians 5:22–23. If we love God and our neighbor, and the Holy Spirit is producing His fruit in our lives, we can know that we are living holy lives. While the ceremonial law is no longer in effect, the moral law is. Our obedience is not salvific, but it is still meaningful to God and to a watching world that needs Him and needs to see Him in our holy (obedient) and loving behavior. After all, we used to walk in darkness…but God! (Ephesians 2) Now we are called to be salt and light. We are called to be holy.
