What is Holiness?
Strictly speaking, only God is holy. However, when we have recieved God into our lives, we have a holiness that comes from God. This holiness is manifested by:
Separation
Holiness is the separation of ourselves by God from sin, the world, and Satan.
Dedication
Holiness is our dedication to God for His use and purposes.
Purification
Holiness is sharing inwardly His pure character and then to outwardly in our thoughts, feelings and actions more and more express His purity. This is primarily the work of the Holy Spirit.
