What Is Holiness?

Would you like to talk to someone? Click Here! Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God’s judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word. ~ J. C. Ryle

What is holiness? It is the height of purity and righteousness, something beyond our reach as mere mortals. Jesus was the only person who walked this earth without sin, and he can rightfully claim true holiness. As Christians, we are called to follow His example and strive to become more Christ-like daily. Deep inside of us, I believe, lies a yearning for holiness to be a part of who we are. However, the path towards holiness is not always smooth; temptations and sins often hinder our desire to do good and pursue holiness. But fear not, if you are a born-again Christian, the Holy Spirit in you will direct you towards holiness.

Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness, no one will see the Lord.

Forgiveness!

For God has provided a way for us to be forgiven when we confess our transgressions. He will graciously wipe away our sins and breathe new life into us, even though the consequences may sometimes linger. The undeniable truth remains that Christ’s death on the cross forgives them all. So let me encourage you today—do not settle for being good; aim higher by striving for holiness in every aspect of your life. ~ Bill Greguska

The Three Main Evil Influences That Fight Against Holiness:

The World
Our Flesh
The Devil

Four Questions To Ask Yourself When You Are Struggling:

Does your first instinct prove you’re right? If so, that is your flesh. It is not the Holy Spirit.
Are you angry with someone? If yes, that is your flesh, your sinful nature at work. The Holy Spirit always deals in love and wants to give you respect by allowing you free will.
Are you struggling to apologize and admit you’re wrong? That, too, is your flesh. The Spirit desires for your pride to decrease and the humility of Christ to increase.
Are you ungrateful and discontent? If so, you’re being led by your flesh. Ingratitude is never from the Holy Spirit.

Something To Strive For!

Being holy, to me, was extremely hard to achieve while growing up. I still recall being in 7th grade, and no matter how hard I tried to be good (even at the risk of not playing in the Friday night basketball game), I could barely muster an hour of good behavior. Looking back at my life as an adult showed me that being good (or holy) is not something to accomplish independently. It is a spiritual matter that God puts in our hearts, directed by His will, taught through the Bible, and guided by the Holy Spirit.

Remember that none of us is entirely holy; the only one to walk on this earth who was Holy was Jesus Christ Himself. It is evident in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That does not mean we can not be holy, but our sinful nature makes that impossible. Yes, there are moments when we live in the Spirit, and holiness is attainable for a time (like when I was in 7th grade), yet as we grow in our faith and walk with God more intimately, those periods of holiness tend to become longer. ~ Bill Greguska
