Holiness Has One Standard: Christ

We often measure holiness by the wrong ruler: preferences, traditions, personalities, expectations.
The Scripture defines holiness by one standard:
1 John 2:6
Holiness is not a list of behaviors.
It is a Person.
The Hebrew word for holy, (qadosh) קָדוֹשׁ — “set apart, distinct”, reminds us: Jesus is the definition and the strength for holiness.
God does not ask you to imitate a denomination.
He invites you to behold His Son, and let His life shape yours from the inside out.
Rules can modify behavior.
Only Jesus can transform the heart.
Holiness is not about becoming impressive. It is about becoming aligned with Him.
