We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:10)

If you were to take a trip to heaven, you might hear the angels crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.”[45] God is holy but what is holiness? For many years I thought I knew. Then I realized that what I thought of as holiness did not come close to describing the Lord. When I found out what holiness really means, I was stunned. I began to understand why the angels sing.

True holiness is breathtaking. Yet most Christians don’t know what it is. They know they are supposed to be holy or sanctified but they have been offered an imitation brand of holiness that is a shadow of the real thing. They have been told sanctification is like gym membership. “You’ve got to sign up, make a commitment, and work at it. Don’t expect instant results,” the gym instructors say, “because the process of becoming holy is a work of gradual development. It takes time and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever make it. But keep coming to class and handing over your money because without holiness no one will see the Lord.”

In the pursuit of holiness entire movements have been launched and countless sermons have been preached and not one of them has ever succeeded in making anyone holy.

So what is holiness and how do we attain it?
