Understanding Holiness

DAY 1 OF 5

  • Understanding Holiness

The idea of holiness may seem old-fashioned to many of us. When we hear about holiness our minds often stroll to the errors we have made, making us reluctant to discuss it. We tend to prefer topics like faith, the movement of the Spirit, and prosperity. However, it is important to recognize that holiness is foundational to Christianity.

The doctrine of holiness is a widely taught principle in the body of Christ. The Scripture provides a comprehensive description and definition of holiness; enclosing concepts of purity, sanctification, consecration, and sacredness.

When we say that God is holy, we are affirming that God is pure and sanctified. In this devotional, we will explore how holiness relates to believers in Christ Jesus. But before we proceed, let's examine a few relevant scriptures together: Exodus 39:30 and Exodus 28:36.

Exodus 39:30:

"And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD.'"

Exodus 28:36:

"And you shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD.'"

In these verses, holiness signifies something concentrated, sacred, and sanctified. Aaron, as a representative of the people, was consecrated and fully dedicated to the Lord.

Understanding holiness involves recognizing that we are called to be set apart for God's purposes. As believers, we are to pursue purity and sanctification in our lives, being dedicated to the Lord in all we do.

Let us reflect on the significance of holiness in our journey as followers of Christ. May we strive to be consecrated vessels, living out our faith in a way that honors and glorifies the Lord.
