A New Picture of Holiness: A Refreshing Testimony that Overcomes the Myths and Legends of Holiness

It is sad to see the personality of Holiness so misrepresented that it constitutes a hindrance in a believer's relationship with God. False Holiness is man's attempt to enter into perfect relationship with God through rules and regulations. God's present plan through Jesus Christ is to institutionalize Holiness into the salvation and spiritual life of every believer. Holiness fulfils and captures the essence of God's love, the type of love which has no need to condemn or judge but relishes in forgiveness and mercy. Holiness qualifies rather than disqualifies believers from serving God in all manners "before him in love" The revelation of Holiness is a personal freedom to breathe the air of intimate and affectionate relationship with God without condemnation or guilt. We cannot earn Holiness through our works or by personal efforts but it is earned by safely depending on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Just like our Heavenly Father, holiness teaches us to love others unreservedly without a choice for who they are and not what we want them to be.
