Can we really be holy?
This question derives from the reaction of a number of Christians who suppose that we’re so sinful we could never really ever be holy. Some have even said that to suggest that Christians can and should be holy by default indicates some sort of legalism or self-righteousness or works righteousness or something like that.
So in this episode of the Bible in Life podcast John and Steven explore that question, can we really be holy?
Key Bible verses:
-1 Pet 1:14-16
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
-Heb 12:14
-Matt 5:48
One important idea: Holiness is not antithetical to our humanness; it’s actually the fulfillment of it.
