Holiness

What Is Holiness?

What is holiness? Some might attempt to describe it but at the heart, it's an experience. It's one thing to know God but an entirely different thing to experience him. Spend time with God and allow that experience to change you.

The Holiness of God

Holiness is an essential part to knowing God and when you know him more, you become more like him. It's his holiness that illuminates all of his other attributes and balances out the wrath and judgment. Gary encourages us to get into his presence today and spend some time nurturing intimacy with our Creator.

Holy Like Jesus

Gary Wilkerson

“It is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:16, ESV). There are two elements of Jesus’ life that are meant to be part of our lives too. That is, we are to be holy and anointed. Some Christians might be intimidated when they hear this. “Sure, I live a moral life and I do my best to be godly — but holy? And anointed? How could that happen with all my failures?”

A Growing Desire to be Holy

Jim Cymbala

Holy, separated living isn’t preached about much anymore because we fear it might offend and not be visitor-friendly. But when the Spirit starts his work, we will always have a new desire for holiness and a quest for Christlikeness. “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’” (1 Peter 14-16).
