Absolute Holiness

Made Holy

“God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and HIS SPIRIT HAS MADE YOU HOLY. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:2)

“For God’s will was for us to be MADE HOLY BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST, once for all time.” (Hebrews 10:10)

“For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.” (Hebrews 10:14)

“Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and YOU ARE HOLY AND BLAMELESS AS YOU STAND BEFORE HIM WITHOUT A SINGLE FAULT.” (Colossians 1:22)

A Holy Temple

“And this is the basic law of the Temple: ABSOLUTE HOLINESS! The entire top of the mountain where the Temple is built is holy. Yes, this is the basic law of the Temple.” (Ezekiel 43:12, NLT)

“Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. FOR GOD’S TEMPLE IS HOLY, AND YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE.” (1 Corinthian 3:16-17, NLT)

For WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. As God said:

“I WILL LIVE IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and SEPARATE YOURSELVES from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you (2 Corinthians 6:16-17, NLT)
