The message uses the analogy of salt from Matthew 5 to illustrate how a believer can be "salt" but lose their "savor" or power by being watered down or overpowered by impurities. The discussion emphasizes that holiness is not about a person's good deeds or appearance, but a reflection of God's ownership of them. The speaker explains that when God separates something for His use, it becomes holy, and this is what happens when a believer is wholly given over to Him. The talk critiques the modern church's focus on outward behavior rather than the inward transformation that comes from being separated unto God.---- Holiness is defined as "separateness," with the fundamental idea of being set apart from the world.- The term "whole" and "holy" are connected, with holiness signifying being wholly given over to God.- A believer is the "salt of the earth" but can become tasteless by being watered down by the world or overpowered by impurities.- The Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be your name," is a prayer for believers who carry His name and reputation.- The biblical word for holiness in both Hebrew and Greek primarily means "apartness" or "separation."- God alone is intrinsically holy; things become holy when He touches them and separates them for His use.- The concept of holiness is directly tied to God's ownership and jurisdiction over a person's life.- The speaker uses the example of Jeremiah to show that the people were trusting in the physical temple rather than living a life of separation to God.---The video concludes by asserting that many people lose the battle against sin because they are ignorant of the enemy's devices, especially when it comes to iniquity. The ultimate takeaway is that iniquity is a generational spiritual stronghold that can have dominion over a person, making them essentially powerless against a sin pattern in their life. The speaker challenges listeners to recognize that the biggest way Satan takes jurisdiction in our lives is through iniquity, but the answer to it is Jesus Christ.---#Holiness #Theology #BiblicalInterpretation #ParableOfTheSower #DrMichaelDavis #Christianity #SpiritualGrowthWhat is the purpose of holiness?
