The Root of Holiness Is Undivided Devotion to God

When we talk holiness in the church, what often comes to mind is moral purity being set apart for the purposes of god. The root of holiness is undivided devotion to jesus. We need to reimagine holiness through the lens of our utter oneness with god. If you were to ask people in the jewish community about holiness, they would pro quote deuteronomy six. This is the shamah, the prayer that the jewISH community pray day in day out.
