See also Acts 8:16 and 1 Cor 12:11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 Peter 1:16,<\/strong> <strong><em>Be holy, for I am holy.<\/em><\/strong> See Lev 11:44; see also Exod 22:31; Lev 11:45; 19:2; 20:7, 26; 21:28; 1 Pet 1:16\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#3e00a3\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Do YOU Become Holy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How does a person become holy?<\/strong> Does holy water make you holy? Does a robed priest sporting a goofy headdress and wearing a giant charm around his pencil thin neck while waving his gaunt and delicate hand over you make you holy? Does stepping into a gilded and ornately decorated church and performing some religious mumbo-jumbo exercise make you holy? NO! The Bible declares how a person becomes holy, and it is NOT what most people think! It has to do with lifestyle and obedience, NOT religiosity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starters, most well-meaning but deceived folks do not even know what the word <em>holy<\/em> means. It comes from the Hebrew word <em>kadash<\/em>, a verb meaning \u201cto be pure, undefiled, unpolluted, set-apart or sanctified.\u201d The Hebrew word <em>kodesh<\/em> is the biblical adjective to describe Elohim who is totally pure and sinless and without any pollution or defilement. <em>Kodesh<\/em> also describes those things which YHVH has made holy or declared to be holy such as certain times (such as his Sabbath and feasts), certain places (such as the Tabernacle of Moses), and certain people (such as his priests and saints). No matter how elaborate and convincing the efforts humans cannot make or declare anything holy regardless of the ceremonialism and religious activities. These efforts are merely futile, vain and, quite frankly, laughable! Many unbelieving pagans see this religious charade for what it is and are not convinced. Some even mock and scorn such efforts. Religiosity is NOT the way to bring people to Elohim\u2014to bring unholy man into the presence of a holy Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is true biblical holiness, and how is it different than the counterfeit that often passes for holiness in religious circles? Let\u2019s discuss this briefly below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do we as redeemed believers initially <strong>become<\/strong> <em>kadosh<\/em> or set-apart? This occurs only through the blood of Yeshua, the Lamb of Elohim at the time of our salvation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from Yeshua Messiah, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. (Rev 1:5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cCome now, and let us reason together,\u201d says YHVH. \u201cThough your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.\u201d (Isa 1:18)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How does one <em>stay<\/em> set-apart or sanctified and<em>stay<\/em> in fellowship with a <em>kadosh<\/em> Elohim? This is accomplished by staying under the blood of Yeshua the Lamb and by confessing and forsaking sin (i.e. violation of the Torah-law of Elohim\u20141\u2009John 3:4) on a regular basis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness [sin or Torahlessness], we lie, and do not the truth [i.e. Torah\/YHVH\u2019s instructions in righteousness], but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Messiah Yeshua his Son cleanse us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1\u2009John 1:6\u20139)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also stay set-apart or holy by walking in accordance with YHVH\u2019s Torah commandments. The Scriptures are clear on this: holiness or being set-apart from world cannot be separated from obedience to YHVH\u2019s Torah instructions in righteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everywhere in Scripture (Exod 22:31; Lev 11:45; 19:2; 20:7, 26; 21:28; 1 Pet 1:16) where YHVH\u2019s saints are commanded to be holy, the command is tied to obedience to his laws be they his dietary laws, the Sabbath, honoring one\u2019s parents, treating one\u2019s neighbor ethically, being a righteous minister, or not succumbing to the pagan practices of the world including sexual immorality, witchcraft, sorcery and witchcraft. To be sure, when we practice holiness by living according to the word of Elohim, it will set us apart and make us different from the world. We cannot be like the world and be holy, set-apart and pleasing to Elohim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with Elohim? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of Elohim. (Jas 4:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget the importance of being holy or set-apart from this world, for the Scriptures tell us that without holiness no one will see Elohim (Heb 12:14). This is pretty cut and dried!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is holiness so important? Simply this. Contrary to Scripture, the mainstream Christian church teaches one of two things: either holiness is equivalent to religiosity, or that love is YHVH Elohim\u2019s chief attribute. The first notion is incorrect because the Bible teaches that holiness is about obedience to the word or will of Elohim and is not merely about religious activities. The second notion is incorrect because although the Scriptures teach that Elohim is, indeed, love, this is not his chief attribute. Holiness is. This is why the heavenly beings surrounding the Elohim\u2019s heavenly throne are continuously declaring that he is holy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the YHVH of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Isa 6:3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, YHVH Elohim Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. (Rev 4:8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elohim created humans with the potential to be holy as he is holy, so that he, a holy Elohim, can spend eternity with holy glorified humans. No unholy or sinful beings can remain in his presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 Peter 1:17,<\/strong> <strong><em>According to each one\u2019s works.<\/em><\/strong>The saints will be rewarded eternally on account of their good works.

Paul also makes reference to these same Israelite people and connects them to the non-Jewish believers in Rome (Rom 9:26).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 Peter 2:11<\/strong>, <strong><em>Sojourners and pilgrims. <\/em><\/strong>The saints of Elohim are members of the kingdom of heaven with Yeshua as their Lord and King.
