The message critiques the idea that holiness is about behaviors and emphasizes that it's a state of being "made Holy by Him." The talk uses passages from Exodus, 1 Peter, and Ephesians to illustrate how believers are a holy temple, a chosen race, and a royal priesthood, all of which are a result of being set apart by God. The discussion highlights that this separateness is not for our own glory but for God's name's sake, as we are called to be in Christ and reflect the Messiah.---- Holiness means being "separate," and this is the fundamental meaning in both Hebrew and Greek.- The "Temple" being rebuilt is not a physical building but believers themselves, as God lives in mankind.- Taking God's name in vain is not just a curse word, but has to do with defrauding someone "in the name of" Yahweh.- Profaning God's name is to make it common, but His name is separate, with greatness and power.- As believers, we are called by the name of Christ, which means "Christlike" or "little Christ."- We are his "workmanship," created in Christ Jesus "unto good works," which God has ordained for us to walk in.- There are no levels of holiness, as any holiness we have comes from God, not from ourselves.- A man is justified by faith, not by the deeds of the law; the works of the law are simply the evidence of our faith.---The video concludes by asserting that the New Covenant is a deep and intimate relationship where God's law is written on our hearts, and we have exchanged our identities for His. The ultimate takeaway is that we are not our own, and we are not supposed to be living for ourselves. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are a people of God's possession, a holy nation, who are to be separate for a purpose that is greater than our own, and that purpose is to proclaim the excellencies of the one who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.---#Holiness #Theology #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Christianity #SpiritualGrowth #NewCovenantWhat is the purpose of holiness?
