We all know holiness is so much more than a list of standards-so much more than merely rules or lists of “do’s and don’t’s.” Holiness is Christ inside of us, transforming us to His image and likeness. The Greek root words for “holiness” (primarily ἁγιασμός / hag-ee-as-mos’) is defined in the Helps Word Study as “use of the believer being progressively transformed by the Lord into His likeness” and the Strong’s definition is “the process of making or becoming holy, set apart, sanctification, holiness, consecration”.
However, when we are disciples of Christ, growing and becoming more like Him, the inner holiness will certainly yield outward results! True holiness will always impact the way we walk, talk, look and live. If we love Jesus, we’ll obey His commandments. This means there will be things we “do” and “don’t do.”
So, how should we preach and teach holiness? What does holiness look like? Thankfully, scripture doesn’t leave us in the dark. When the biblical authors “preach a little holiness” they have no qualms about telling us what the external evidence will be.
In this video, I focus in on one passage in particular where Paul is specifically addressing the holiness lifestyle, Ephesians 4:25-32, 5:1-4.
When we preach and teach holiness, we should be careful to model our instruction after the biblical pattern exemplified in Ephesians, among other passages. After all, you can’t get better than biblical!
