Holiness


What it means to be Holy can be unclear to many Christians including myself. Pastor Jack Hayford wrote a comprehensive article about Holiness I believe will be helpful to many Christians.

Personally I was not sure about what exactly to be Holy really means until I read Pastor Hayford's article.

He said "The Holy Spirit desires to bring each of us to complete personhood. This practical pursuit—our partnering with Him as He comes to help—is geared to make us whole or holy. That’s what “holiness” is really about—wholeness. What the Holy Spirit is up to is bringing the whole life of Jesus Christ into the whole of our personalities so that the whole love of God can be relayed to the whole world."

I have also heard preacher defining Holiness as being Christ-like. Like Pastor Hayford wrote "bringing the whole life of Jesus Christ into the whole of our personalities so that the whole love of God can be relayed to the whole world", I believe this statement really tells us to be Christ-like.
