What does the Bible say about being chosen to be holy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are chosen by God to be holy before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).

In Ephesians 1:4, we find a profound truth regarding the nature of God's electing love: 'according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy.' This verse indicates that holiness is not merely a result of our actions, but it is the purpose behind God’s choice. God chose His people to be set apart for Himself, reflecting His own holiness. Holiness, therefore, is a crucial aspect of our identity as believers—it's not just a call to moral perfection but a status bestowed upon us by God's grace through Christ.
