NIV Devotions for Women - Week of August 25

God's concept of holiness is not just a moral standard, but a transformative reality that can be achieved through spiritual transformation and union with Jesus Christ, offering a path to perfection and freedom from evil. By embracing this divine example, believers can become holy, both in their present lives and ultimately in heaven, as they follow Christ's example and receive his work of sanctification within them.

He Is- Holy

Verse: Leviticus 19:2

God describes himself as holy. Holy means perfect, set apart, free from evil. And God wants us to follow his example. The only way to holiness is through spiritual transformation, becoming like the only perfect human—Jesus Christ.

Because God is holy, we should be and can be holy. We could never do this on our own—only through Christ’s work in us. If holiness seems too lofty a goal, think of it as a process. You became holy when you accepted Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. You are becoming more holy as you follow him. And you will become completely holy when you reach heaven.
