CALL TO HOLY LIVING
The command to live in holiness is given by God to everyone who has chosen to walk with Him.
In a simple sense, holy living means a lifestyle that is committed primarily to pleasing God. Such a lifestyle involves separation from the world and its ways and is wholly committed, consecrated and dedicated to God. The individual who embraces holy living seeks only one end in life: that of pleasing God always. Such a one declares within himself: "if God lives in me and He is holy, then I must allow Him work out this attributes of holiness in my life.
God declares in his word: "Be ye holy, for I am holy".. Therefore, the issue of living a holy life is not optional to the believer neither is it negotiable but rather it is a normal way of life expected of anyone who has put his faith in the Lord.
In the "hustle and bustle of life", especially in modern times, many temptations are put in our path to lure us away from our noble desire of living in holiness to our God's glory. Attempts are made by the enemy to make us comprise our cherished biblical standards as regards the issues if life at home, school, offices, markets, business palaces etc.
However, It pays to remember always that holiness is centered to our daily relationship with God. Holiness is one of the attributes of God and this holy God has always demanded holiness in the lives if all who desire to follow Him. The believer therefore, must resolved to pursue, keep and maintain a mindset of pleasing the Lord always.

I would like to ask. If holiness is an attribute of God, is it something we can earn?
Because he tagged all our acts if trying to please Him as RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Holiness is key. Holiness without which, no man shall see the lord. We should try to live an holy life if we seek to make heaven

Your post is curated by @forgodsglory a Christian curation page. I follow the trail of @flaminghelpers curation night last night. Thank you for this post about a Holy living. I agree with it but Holy Living has 2 parts the part that Christ already did for us and we have received when we were born again and then the practical application by the Christian. Please see this post of mine. You don't have to vote on it, but just take a look at to see the 2 parts of Holy living and sanctification. God bless!
Holiness is our nature. Its in our DNA. We don't struggle to be holy.
