NKJV 365 / Holy

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 212 of 365 When God tells us, "You shall be holy; for I am holy," some of us have problems understanding what the Bible means. When we think of holy, the term seems unapproachable, even impossible to a lot of us. So maybe it would help to bring clarity to the idea if we tried spelling it like this: wholly. When you're wholly committed to something, your commitment changes your entire outlook and behavior. People are wholly committed to a lot of things, of course. Some people are wholly committed to their careers. Others are wholly committed to sports. Others are wholly committed to making money, or to improving their physical appearance. But if you want to be holy, in the sense that God is holy, then be wholly committed to God. And very soon, if you wholly commit yourself to God, then you will find you are becoming holy as a result. Taken from Start! The Bible for New Believers Leviticus 11:44 NASB 44 For I am the L ord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth.
