What is Holiness?

 


The root word for ‘holiness’ comes from the Greek word ‘Hagios’, which has three meanings:

a) Separated from the ordinary

b) Separated from the common usage

c) Something holy is that which has been brought into relationship with God and designated by Him as having a sacred purpose.



We must be clear that simply by living a holy life we do not become holy. If it would have been possible then the death of Christ would have been useless. Our holiness is in Christ, which is the wisdom of God i.e., Christ has become holiness, righteousness, and redemption for us as scripted in 1 Corinthians 1:30. We must keep our eyes on Christ forever. The devil wants us to focus on ourselves and to view ourselves as to how unrighteous and unholy we are, but God’s plan for us is to continually look at and keep our focus on Christ.


The Bible says in Hebrews 3:1, “Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.”

From the above-given verse, we learn that the living Word of God declares us holy. The Bible never says become holy like I am holy, as in 1 Peter 1:15, 16; Why? Because through Christ we are holy and since through Christ we have reached that place, God desires and commands us that we stay in that place.

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

  Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

                                भजन संहिता   १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...
