Holiness

Habakkuk 1:13; Leviticus 11:44-45, 19:2, 20:7; 1 Peter 1:13

Among God's characteristics, as He has revealed Himself, none is more significant than His holiness. "Holy" and "holiness" are mentioned more than 900 times in Scripture. Both the Old and New Testaments speak more about holiness than any other attribute. Christ's work on the cross does not just save us from sin, He also saves us so that we can become more holy (Ephesians 1:3-4). He desires us to be holy because He is holy.

Questions for further thought:
1. What is holiness?
2. Are you moving towards becoming more holy?  

​Challenge: Ask Jesus to teach you, through the work of the Holy Spirit, how to discern God's purpose for your life and how that relates to your holiness.
