What does it mean that we are made holy in the New Jerusalem?

Answered in 1 source

Being made holy in the New Jerusalem signifies that believers are set apart by God and seen as righteous through Christ's sacrifice.

The declaration of holiness for believers, as seen in the depiction of the New Jerusalem, emphasizes God's redemptive work through Christ. Believers, as part of the church, are regarded as a 'holy city' because they are clothed in Christ’s righteousness, making them acceptable before God. This holiness is not of our own doing but comes from God's choice and grace, affirming that we are set apart for His purposes. Furthermore, 1 Peter 2:9 states that we are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood, showing that our identity in Christ transforms us into a holy people destined for eternal fellowship with God in the New Jerusalem.
