"Oh, you so holy"

Holiness is another word in the pool of Christian jargon.

Do we actually know what it means?

When we see people going to church, praying or just talking about God, we tend to say to them, "Ooo, you so holy" Or even as Christians, when we do lotsa "good stuff" and go to church and things that we like to think of ourselves as "being a good Christian" and therefore being holy in these acts. However, holiness to us often seems completely unachievable and way too out of our reach as we're human and bla bla bla.

Holiness is knowing God and His truths and living in what has already been revealed to you. If we truly know who God is- even if we know just a little about Him (cos we'll never know enough of who He is) and if that truly renews our mind, that is holiness. We're all holy if we choose to want to know Him. So you may say that being Holy is only for "strong/super christians" and not for me, I'm just fine where I am. You're wrong. Cos you are called to be holy. It's the very nature of who we are. We were created to know God. to be searching for something more, to love, to feel, etc. The ability to know Him is already given to us.

You're closer to God than you think. You're made in His image. You already have godly attributes.

You are His child.
