What does the Bible say about being a holy people?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that God's people are a holy people chosen by Him for His purposes, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:6.
In Deuteronomy 7:6, God declares that His people are a holy people set apart for Himself, emphasizing that God chose them not because of their number or merit but solely out of His love. This holiness is granted to believers not by their own works, but through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who sanctifies them. The New Testament reaffirms this by stating that believers are to be holy and without blame before Him in love (Ephesians 1:4). The call to holiness is rooted in God's choice and grace, which necessitates that His people separate themselves from false beliefs and practices that contradict His truth.
