Hidup Kudus : Standar Hidup Orang Percaya

Baca: 1 Petrus 1:13-25

"...hendaklah kamu menjadi kudus di dalam seluruh hidupmu sama seperti Dia yang kudus, yang telah memanggil kamu," (1 Petrus 1:15)

Hidup dalam kekudusan dan tidak bercacat sesungguhnya adalah kehendak Tuhan bagi setiap manusia, sebab Tuhan telah menciptakan manusia menurut gambar-Nya (baca Kejadian 1:27). Tuhan adalah kudus, maka Ia pun menghendaki manusia kudus seperti diri-Nya. "Kuduslah kamu, sebab Aku kudus." (1 Petrus 1:16).Karena Tuhan adalah kudus maka Ia tidak dapat menyatu dengan ketidakkudusan dan segala bentuk kecemaran. Dengan kata lain kalau kita tidak hidup dalam kekudusan kita pun tidak dapat menyatu dengan Tuhan. Alkitab menegaskan bahwa tanpa kekudusan tidak seorang pun akan melihat Tuhan, maka dari itu "...kejarlah kekudusan," (Ibrani 12:14). Apabila kita ingin melihat dan mengalami kehadiran Tuhan syarat mutlaknya hidup dalam kekudusan.

Salah satu definisi kata "kudus" adalah berada dalam kemurnian; bahasa Ibraninya "kadosh", yang berarti "naik lebih tinggi". Artinya Tuhan memanggil orang percaya untuk hidup sesuai dengan standar-Nya, level hidup yang naik ke arah Kristus, yaitu hidup sebagaimana Kristus hidup dan berpikir sebagaimana Kristus berpikir. Hidup kudus berarti pula hidup terpisah dari segala bentuk dosa dan mempersembahkan hidup hanya bagi Tuhan, karena tubuh kita adalah bait Tuhan. "Tidak tahukah kamu, bahwa kamu adalah bait Allah dan bahwa Roh Allah diam di dalam kamu?" (1 Korintus 3:16).

Bait Tuhan merupakan suatu tempat yang kudus di mana hadirat Tuhan akan hadir di dalamnya. Untuk itulah kita harus memelihara tubuh kita agar selalu bersih dan terbebas dari segala bentuk kenajisan dan kecemaran. Bagaimana caranya? Kita harus mau hidup dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus setiap hari. Dengan pertolongan Roh Kudus saja kita beroleh kekuatan untuk meninggalkan perbuatan daging. Kekudusan dan kemurnian hidup tidak akan pernah bisa dicapai jika kita mengandalkan kekuatan sendiri, tanpa bergantung kepada anugerah dan kekuatan dari Tuhan. Tanpa Roh Kudus kita tidak akan mampu!

"Kuduslah kamu bagi-Ku, sebab Aku ini, TUHAN, kudus dan Aku telah memisahkan kamu dari bangsa-bangsa lain, supaya kamu menjadi milik-Ku." (Imamat 20:26)

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
