God is holy.

“I am the Lord your God...be holy, because I am holy.” Leviticus 11:44

God is holy. What does it mean to be holy? For God, it means He is perfect — He is without stain or blemish. There is no evil in God and never will be. God is holy — set apart from everything that is bad.

What does it mean for us to be holy? For us as Christians, it means to be set apart — to God and to His service. The Holy Spirit lives in us and can bring true holiness into our lives. We are still living in a world that has sin, and we ourselves sin even as Christians. But our goal should be to ask the Holy Spirit to transform our lives — that in our hearts and in our lives, we will be set apart to God and controlled by His Holy Spirit and not our old sinful nature.

So this week, let us pray that

• God will help us to be holy, even as He is holy
• We will be thankful for the fact that His Holy Spirit can make this possible

Thank you so much for your prayers. Let us all pray that God’s Holy Spirit will fill us all and help us to be Christ-filled ambassadors of His love to the world.

“You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.” Leviticus 20:26
