Holiness in the Letters of Paul

The concept of holiness is explored through Paul's teachings, emphasizing that it reflects God's holiness as presented in the Old Testament. Believers are called to embody moral integrity, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live Christlike lives in a flawed world. Anticipating the Parousia, they are encouraged to actively pursue and pray for holiness, understanding it as a practice rather than a mere status achieved at justification. This imperative highlights the essential role of holiness in the lives of God's people.
