Bible Verses About Holiness
Understanding the Call to Holiness
In our walk of faith, we are called to be set apart, living a life that reflects the holiness of God. This calling is not just a suggestion; it is a command from our Lord. The Bible teaches us that holiness is an essential part of our relationship with God. When we embrace this calling, we recognize the importance of living according to His will, allowing His nature to shine through us. We often struggle with the idea of holiness, thinking it is too lofty or unattainable. However, we must remember that it is not by our own strength that we achieve holiness but through the grace and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Each day provides a new opportunity to strive for holiness in our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others. Our journey towards holiness is a continuous process, one that shapes us into the image of Christ and draws us closer to Him.
