What does it mean to live a holy life?

To live a holy life is to actively reject the pervasive worldliness that often influences the church. A.W. Tozer asserts that modern evangelical Christianity frequently falls short of the New Testament standard, leading many believers to conflate holiness with outward appearances rather than an inward reality. Holiness requires commitment to God’s standards, a pursuit that often challenges the comforts of contemporary society. It involves continual repentance and a desire for God’s presence, recognizing that true sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit within us, transforming our hearts and lives according to His will.
