What is the meaning of being made holy before God?

Answered in 1 source

Being made holy before God means being sanctified by the Spirit and cleansed through the blood of Christ, allowing us to enter into God's presence.

In Reformed theology, the concept of holiness is closely tied to sanctification, which is the process of being made holy through the work of the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 10:10 states, 'By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.' This sanctification is a definitive act accomplished by Christ's blood that sets believers apart for God's purposes. Being holy means being cleansed from sin and restored to a state of being acceptable to God. As believers, we are called to reflect this holiness in our lives, embodying the character of Christ through our actions and thoughts. This process is ongoing, as the Spirit continues to work within us to conform us to the image of Christ, empowering us to live in a manner that pleases God.
