As He Is Holy (Part One)

CGG Weekly by Ronny H. Graham

The concept of becoming holy is a vital part of God's sanctification process, a spiritual journey that unfolds over a lifetime. The English word holy signifies purity, cleanliness, sacredness, and being set apart. It embodies moral and spiritual excellence, perfection, and reverence, belonging to or being devoted to God. God instructs His people to consecrate themselves and be holy, for He is the LORD their God, separating them from the world to be His own. This holiness is not merely an initial state of being chosen by God, but a process of growth through obedience and effort. As emphasized in scripture, by keeping His statutes and performing them, we shall be holy, indicating a future fulfillment and an ongoing transformation. God's command to be holy men to Him reinforces that following His instructions leads to holiness. This process of becoming holy requires a deepening understanding of what it truly means to be set apart for His purpose.
