Holiness in an Unholy Church Age

A.W. Tozer once said, “What I say here may hurt, but I say it anyhow. We have lived with unholiness so long that we are almost incapable of recognizing true holiness. You cannot study the Bible diligently and earnestly without being struck by an obvious fact- the whole matter of personal holiness is highly important to God!”

The book of Leviticus has much to say about the subject of holiness. The word “holy” is mentioned 150 times, and the word “clean” is referred to 186 times. God desires that you and I be a holy people.

Are you holy in your thoughts? Your conversations? Your ambitions, motives, and entertainment? What does God see when no one else sees? Is your marriage holy?

Leviticus 11:45 says, “For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” Psalm 24:3,4 says, "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart…” I Thessalonians 4:7 says, “For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.”
