What does it mean to be made holy?

Answered in 1 source

To be made holy means to be set apart and purified through Christ's work, as God imparts His holiness to us.

The biblical concept of holiness involves being set apart and distinct from sin, which is a divine work accomplished through Christ. In Leviticus, God commands His people to be holy because He is holy, illustrating that holiness is integral to our identity as God's people. This sanctification occurs through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, who takes our sinful nature and grants us His righteousness. As believers, we are described as 'partakers of the divine nature' (2 Peter 1:4), which means that we are not only forgiven but transformed, reflecting God's holiness in our lives. This transformation enables us to live out our calling as priests unto God, serving Him and others faithfully.
