How do we know that holiness is essential for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Holiness is essential for Christians as it demonstrates the reality of their faith and their relationship with Christ.

Holiness is not merely an ideal but a fundamental aspect of the Christian life. According to 1 John 3:4-5, the practice of sin reflects a lack of true fellowship with God, as no believer can genuinely abide in Christ and live a life characterized by unrepentant sin. The transformative work of Christ enables believers to hate sin and desire righteousness, emphasizing that true faith manifests in a life marked by obedience and holiness. Moreover, as new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), believers are called to pursue holiness in their daily lives, demonstrating the evidence of their faith and relationship with God.
