How does the Bible define true holiness?

Answered in 1 source

True holiness is a divine attribute bestowed by God, not earned by human works.

According to Ephesians 4:24, true holiness is described as being created in righteousness and true holiness, indicating that it originates from God's transformative work in the believer. Unlike the counterfeit holiness that may arise from religious rituals or self-imposed disciplines, true holiness is a result of God's grace working in and through individuals. This holiness separates the believer from the world, enabling them to reflect the character of God. It is essential for Christians to pursue true holiness, as it embodies their status as set apart for God's purposes and reveals the authentic nature of their relationship with Him.
