Too often, believers are taught to “blend in” so they don’t offend anyone. But from Genesis to Revelation, God is calling His people to be different—to be set apart—to be holy.
📖 The Command
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
— Leviticus 11:44 & 1 Peter 1:16
This is not just Old Testament language. Peter, writing to New Covenant believers, quotes the Torah directly. Holiness is not outdated—it is our calling.
🕊️ What Does It Mean to Be Holy?
The word holy (Hebrew: קָדוֹשׁ / qadosh) means:
-
Set apart,
-
Dedicated,
-
Separated for sacred use.
Being holy means not living like the rest of the world. It means refusing to adopt its ways, customs, and compromises—even if those compromises are popular in modern Christianity.
🚫 You Can’t Mix Light with Darkness
“What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”
— 2 Corinthians 6:14
Holiness is not a list of do’s and don’ts—it’s a lifestyle that reflects God’s character. It affects how we speak, dress, eat, rest, treat others, and worship. It also affects what we post on social media!
✝️ Jesus Was Holy—Are You Following Him?
Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) walked in perfect holiness, obeying the Father in everything—even the small details like wearing tassels (Luke 8:44), keeping the Sabbath (Luke 4:16), and celebrating God’s feast days (John 7:2,10).
He didn’t just come to save you—He came to show you how to walk.
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”
— 1 John 2:6
🔥 Holiness Will Cost You
-
It may cost you popularity.
-
It may cost you traditions.
-
It may even cost you relationships.
But the reward is closeness with God, a clean conscience, and being found blameless when He returns.
🌿 Final Thought
God is not calling you to be relevant—He’s calling you to be holy.
Not to blend in—but to stand out.
Not to be lukewarm—but to be on fire for Him.
