Romans
12:1, “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.”
Those of you that know me best may think that
Romans 12:1& 2 are the only verses in the Bible that I know. Today I would like to discuss the word holy
that was translated in this verse from the Greek word hagios (40) which means
to be physically pure and morally blameless in the sight of God. I am well aware that a Christian musician
will probably never get so spiritual that he or she is above the possibility of
being blamed by those with whom he or she works. God must have wanted this word to be understood
since He inspired the New Testament writers to include it in 219 verses in the
New Testament.
As you are well aware, Christians disagree
about what it means for a Christian musician to live a holy life. I am not
credulous enough to believe that I am able to settle this discussion to all
Christian musicians’ satisfaction in this blog post. I can say with much assurance that it is a
biblical imperative for all Christian musicians to become a living sacrifice
that is physically pure and morally blameless in the sight of God.
