For many people, “holy” refers to something highly religious; it’s sacred and untouchable. However, holiness is first and foremost the chief attribute of God. It refers to something that is set apart from the rest, and God is certainly set apart from anything and everything else. As followers of Christ, we, too, are called to be holy and set apart. “But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Pet. 1:15-16).
