17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
God calls His people out of defiling fellowship and receives them as sons and daughters.
Holiness is God’s character shaping a redeemed people. It includes the heart, body, desires, relationships, worship, and visible conduct.
Apostolic holiness is Spirit-empowered consecration, not a way to earn salvation or a list detached from love, justice, mercy, and inward purity.
Rejecting legalism does not mean rejecting holiness. The New Testament repeatedly commands a transformed life because believers belong to God.
Begin with God’s call, move to inward transformation and the body as God’s temple, then address concrete practice.
