General Information
{ho'-lee-ness}
The basic meaning of holiness is "separateness". It refers to anything separated from the common and dedicated to sacred use. Holiness originates in God and is communicated to things, places, times, and persons engaged in His Service.
God demands that His people be holy, i.e., separated unto Him (Num. 15:40,41; Deut. 7:6). Jesus is the Holy One of God (Mark 1:24; Luke 4:34; John 6:69).
Holiness, in the highest sense belongs to God (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 15:4), and to Christians as consecrated to God's service, and in so far as they are conformed in all things to the will of God (Rom. 6:19, 22; Eph. 1:4; Titus 1:8; 1 Pet. 1:15). Personal holiness is a work of gradual development. It is carried on under many hindrances, hence the frequent admonitions to watchfulness, prayer, and perseverance (1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 7:1; Eph. 4:23, 24). (See Sanctification.)
