Why is being hallowed important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Being hallowed signifies that Christians are made holy by God, enabling them to serve Him and represent Him as priests.

Being hallowed is of utmost importance as it denotes a Christians' sanctification and the divine calling to serve God as His chosen priests. In Exodus 29, being made holy is foundational for entering into a relationship with God. This is not achieved through our own works, but through the work of Christ, who sanctifies us completely. Believers, once hallowed, gain the ability to approach God and live out their faith through worship and service. The New Testament reaffirms this by stating that we are a royal priesthood, set apart to declare the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His light (1 Peter 2:9). Therefore, to be hallowed is to accept our identity and responsibility as representatives of Christ upon the earth.
