Here is a helpful reminder of one author’s definition of holiness:
“Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God…It is the habit of agreeing with God’s judgment—hating what He hates—loving what He loves—and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word…A holy man will endeavor to shun every known sin, and to keep every known commandment. He will have a decided bent of mind toward God, a hearty desire to do His will—a greater fear of displeasing Him than of displeasing the world, and a love of all His ways.”
(John Ryle, 1879)
