What is holiness? The word “holy” appears 544 times in the word of God. The word “holiness: appears 43 times in the word of God. Holiness is important to God. Everything connected with the Lord God is holy. Examples: Holy One of Israel, Holy Spirit and Holy Temple. "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness, " Ephesians 4:24. Holiness means purity, cleanliness, and defilement. The state of being holy; purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin; sanctity. Applied to the Supreme Being, holiness denotes perfect purity or integrity of moral character, one of his essential attributes. Applied to human beings, holiness is purity of heart or dispositions; sanctified affections; piety; moral goodness, but not perfect. It is the image and glory of God! A true holy life-style will only do one thing and that’s to bring glory to God. God is holy and so is everything about Him. The whole idea of life as a Christian is to gain closeness to God, thereby gaining his holiness. The word of God says very clearly that without holiness a man cannot see God.
Based on the word of God, I believe the reason that many Christians have not seen God is because they lack holiness, they have not experienced that close relationship and walk with God. They have not set apart their lives for His purpose. So living a life of holiness does not necessarily only mean, living a life that is totally 100 % free from sin at all times; as there are sometimes sins of omission and commission that people will commit and repent of. It means living a life that is separated or set-apart. It means we are not like ordinary people. We are a special people. 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” Holiness means being different from the world. Jesus our Great High Priest and example in all righteousness and true holiness, did His Father's will and did not serve his flesh. We are in the world, but not of the world. An example. Jesus did not go out and party, but He did meet sinners whether at a wedding party or not, and seek to save them, meeting their needs (both in the flesh and spiritually).
