Be Holy

“For I am Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy.”

Leviticus 11:45

For us as followers of Christ, holiness is the consecration of our lives in service to God. I would submit that consecration, or the state of being “set apart” to service Him is to be who he made you to be. And in being who he made you to be, we are charged to be pure and undefiled in living that calling. Are you an artist? Pursue it with passion. Are you a writer? Are you a pilot? A mother? A father? A caregiver?

Holiness is not an antiseptic thing. It’s not a blinding white beam that sears the skin of our soul. Holiness is being pure and unadulterated in giving glory to the Creator in the state of being who we are. And sin is manifested, then, if we live outside those boundaries.

We bear His image, and as believers in Christ we have been liberated to live that image. So know this as a declaration over you: be holy, for He is holy.
