Abstract
Holiness, the Holy Spirit’s work, is not external conformity to a law but an internal transformation. God does not expect us to be perfect, but he wants us to have the mind of Christ and to act accordingly. Personal holiness and the holiness of the church (“a holy nation”) go together. Our lives must reflect the teachings of the Bible. We are holy because God chose us, but we must grow in holiness (sanctification). In this life, we shall always be sinners, saved by divine grace and not by human effort. Today, the church needs pastors and teachers who can show us how to grow in holiness, to strengthen the church for the battle and share in the victory over sin in Christ.
