To be Holy means to separate ourselves from everything ungodly or contrary to the word of God. To be holy means you are walking in pure truth in the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you do not consider yourself Holy something is truly wrong. Why do I say that?
Because that means you are not walking with Jesus Christ or you won't be righteous and unrighteous, and you cannot serve two masters.
Also because it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16.
To be Holy means there is no way your eyes or ears are willing to listen or watch anything ungodly or approve of such ungodly things.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6.
We are supposed to be operating in the Spirit of God's love.
If you say I can’t be Holy then that is a lie. Then I would say why then was Christ crucified? Not for nothing.
Jesus took our place on the cross so that we may live through His righteousness which makes us Holy.
I am here to tell you we are Holy and we are meant to live Holy.
It is written in Titus 2:11-14. For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age.
While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
The Salvation in Jesus Christ separates us from ungodliness and makes us Holy. How does this work? By abiding in Christ Jesus.
It is written in 1 John 2 5-6. But if anyone obeys God's word, has a love for God, and is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
We all know that Jesus is holy, so we are holy because we abide in Jesus.
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
1 John 2 3-4.
To separate is to deny ourselves from the ways of the world and the things that are not of God.
It is written in Matthew 16:24. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
Be Holy.
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him, you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
And this is the word that was preached to you.
1 Peter 1-13-25
