Be Holy

Summary

In this sermon, the speaker explores the biblical concept of holiness, focusing on how God declares individuals holy through His grace rather than human effort. Drawing from scriptures in Ephesians, Leviticus, and Corinthians, he addresses the tension between God's demand for holiness and human sinfulness, using a personal anecdote about a discouraging gym teacher to illustrate how destructive negative labels can be. The key takeaway is that holiness is not achieved by personal perfection, but by God's declaration and choice, inviting believers to embrace their holy identity as a gift from God rather than a personal accomplishment.
