What does the Bible say about personal holiness?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of personal holiness, instructing believers to set their minds on what is true, honorable, and pure.

The Bible teaches that personal holiness is essential for Christians, as it reflects their commitment to God and His standards. In Philippians 4:8-9, Paul instructs believers to think on whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of good repute. This focus on godly virtues is crucial because our thoughts shape our actions and ultimately define how we live as followers of Christ. John Stott aptly noted that the battle for the Christian life begins in the mind—control your thoughts, and you will control your life. Thus, personal holiness starts by dwelling on godly principles found in Scripture.
