What does the Bible say about holiness in believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true believers are made holy through the righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to them by grace.

According to scripture, all true believers are considered holy not by their own efforts but through the righteousness of Christ. This holiness is bestowed upon believers as a gift of grace, evident in passages like Romans 5:17-19 and 2 Corinthians 5:21, which emphasize that our righteousness is derived from Christ alone. Moreover, in the process of sanctification, the Holy Spirit creates a new nature in believers, enabling them to live holy lives consistent with their identity as partakers of divine grace.
