What is holiness? Is it the "absence" of sin? What IS it, exactly, and how do we live it?
Webster's New World Dictionary says: the quality or state of being holy.
Holy: is dedicated to religious use; belonging to or coming from God, consecrated, sacred; 2) spritually perfect or pure; untainted by evil or sin, sinless, saintly; 3) regarded with or deserving deep respect, awe, reverence or adoration.
That's all the farther I'll go with Webster's. My definition of holiness best fits the second definition. It's the one I like the best, and the one I try to live by.
How about you?
