Definition of Holiness

Holiness is a confusing and loaded word that we use in religious settings. It is often associated with someone being holier than thou, detached, stuffy, and stuck up. However, the concept of holiness is not limited to morality or being set apart. The Bible suggests that holiness is about participating in something transcendent and beautiful, a connection to the ultimate good and ideal state. It is a reflection of God's character and his abundance, completeness, awesomeness, and goodness.
