Bible Question: How do we become Holy? |
Bible Answer: Grace and Peace to All His Holy Saints, How do we become Holy? By the completed work of Christ on the cross. We read in Acts 26:18...to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to Light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been "sanctified" by faith in Me. To be "sanctified" means to be set apart or to be made "holy". As a child of God, you have been made "holy" by the blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness is not something we can attain by our own good works, it is by His Good works. Holiness is a free gift, just like salvation, that is given to all who put their faith in Christ Jesus. Knowing we have been "sanctified" once and for all frees us from constantly having to keep our eyes on the way we are behaving. It causes us to look to Christ and what He accomplished and what He is doing in and through us. Colossians 1:22...But now He has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you "holy" in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation. Hebrews 10:10...And by that will, we have been made "holy" through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all. The blood of the new covenant that He shed for us on the cross. That went into effect by the death of the One who made it. The better covenant, by which we draw near to God. Hebrews 2:11...Both the One who makes men "holy" and those who are made "holy" are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. Acts 20:32 "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are "sanctified". 1 Cor 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been "sanctified" in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: 1 Cor 6:11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were "sanctified", but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is "sanctified" through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is "sanctified" through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are "holy". Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might "sanctify" her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be "holy" and blameless. Heb 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are "sanctified". Heb 10:29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was "sanctified", and has insulted the Spirit of grace? The Holiness of God is a free gift that has been given to all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. We are sanctified by our faith in Him, not by our works. If it were then it would not be His gift, or His Grace. It is all His Good Work. YBIC Joe |
