The Lord commanded his people to imitate him because he is a holy God. For Christians to walk in the Lord, they must repent of their sinful behavior. Since sin is a part of us, we are unable to view God’s righteousness with natural eyes. For us to understand sin, we must view it from God’s perspective.
When we accept Jesus, we receive holiness that transforms us from our old way of life. We discover the beauty of holiness and learn what a blessing it is to give up all forms of wicked behavior.
We can learn about our God’s goodness and what we need to do to establish a connection with him through holiness.
Let us read the following scripture in order to have a depth knowledge of holiness which will help us to walk in God’s ways.
