What is holiness?

Holiness is not something reserved for a Pope, nor a Cardinal or Bishop. It is something that every one is entitled to be, if the will of the Spirit is stronger than the will of one's flesh. Holiness is something earned while doing the very things which God has given to us as laws.


Holiness is the result or reward to somebody who follows the Law. The Law is the prerequisite for holiness. When man made a testament with God, it was something done for men to be saved. Those outside the Testament, God said, will be destroyed. How then, will man be forever within the bounds of the testament?


When God desired upon His Heart that he shall never destroy humankind with another flood during the time of Noah, that was a testament. There was a caveat though. Man must follow the precepts which God laid down for men. These very same precepts are roadmaps toward holiness. No one will be accepted in the Kingdom of God if one does not follow these precepts. 


When one is holy, he will see the face of God, like the prophets of old, specifically Moses, Elijah and the rest. How did they do it? BY being obedient and totally subservient to God. Subservience is the key towards holiness. 


True holiness therefore, depends on one's subservience to God. When one totally relies to God for everything, he worships God in truth. When one totally depends in God, he then makes himself worthy in holiness. 


Depend in God. Do not doubt his power. Do not doubt His Lordship. Trust in God. Put everything in God and everything will turn out fine.
