Episode Synopsis

Holiness is a fundamental requirement to see the Lord at work in our lives, and to make heaven. Hebrews 12:14 says “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord”. Both in the Old Testament and the New Testament, God demands for His people to be holy (Leviticus 19:2, 1 Peter 1:15-16). Holiness is the nature of God, and sin is a repellant of God and His presence. This makes our understanding of Holiness, and a life of holiness so important. While the Laws and the teachings and commandment of the prophets where the instruments for attaining holiness under the Old Testament or covenant, we now in the New Testament and Covenant where we are no longer under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14), and where the prophets have been replaced with the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Prophecy. This implies that the new covenant comes with a different path to holiness, from the Old Testament.  

In this episode, we learn what holiness is and how we can live a life of holiness with the provisions that God has made available to us under the New Testament and covenant.
