What is Holiness -
What is holiness and what are misinterpretations of it?
Jeff Pollard explains in this video that the Greek words found in the New Testament for “holiness” and “sanctification” essentially mean being “set apart for God’s use.”
Far too often, we understand holiness as not doing something. But, when we get this narrow focus of holiness, we lose the beauty of the biblical picture. Holiness is a life informed by God’s Word, empowered by God’s Spirit to mortify sin and to pursue righteousness and good works, as defined by Scripture.
2 Corinthians 7:1 (NKJV) – “Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
