What does holiness mean in a Christian context?

Answered in 1 source

Holiness in Christianity refers to a state of being set apart for God, which is achieved through salvation and union with Christ.

In a Christian context, holiness is understood as being set apart for God's purposes, achieved not through human effort but through the work of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10:10 emphasizes that we are made holy through the sacrifice of Christ. Holiness signifies our reconciliation with God, allowing us to approach Him as His children. It reflects a transformative process initiated by God, as believers, being in Christ, are seen as holy in God’s sight. This holy standing is not based on our conduct but on Christ being our sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:30), ensuring that if we die in this state, we will remain holy forever.
