"Being Holy in an Unholy World"
(I Peter 1:16; John 17:13-18)
...because as it is written, "YOU SHALL
BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.
(John 17:13-18) But now I come to Thee
and these things I speak in the world,
that they may have My joy made full in

has hated them, because they are not of
the world, even as I am n-ot of the world.

world, but to keep them from the evil

They are not of the world, even as I am
not of the world.
Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is
truth.

or simple dress. But that is not what the Bible says about holiness.
Basically, a holy person is a one who is conscious of God, desiring to
be like God and to be controlled by Him in every way of life. Are you
holy?
You say, "Well, I'm doing pretty good. My lifestyle is pretty strong
and I like to feel that I'm a pretty good Christian.

For the great number of Christians who feel that ...
