Holiness

You can’t make yourself holy.  Holiness is a gift.  You walk with God, and holiness is the result.

  For our sakes God made Him (Jesus) who did not know sin to be sin, so that in Him we might become the very holiness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21.

  Scripture tells us that God wants us to grow in holiness: It is God's Will that you grow in holiness: 1 Thessalonians 4:3.

  God tells us in His Word: Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

Leviticus 19:2; 1 Peter 1:16

  Jesus said: In a word, you must be made perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48.

  As we surrender ourselves to God and follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, They cause us to grow in holiness.

  Strive for peace with all men, and for that holiness without which no one can see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14.
