Holiness is the wholeness and health of the soul being restored into the divine likeness. Holiness is not radicalism, emotionalism, or legalism, though at different times we have made it these things. It is the picture of a formerly divided heart made whole. It is to “will to do one thing”. It is love expelling lesser loves. It is the wellness of the soul expressed by “loving God with your whole being”. Oh Lord, make me whole in your love! Amen!
“Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.” Ephesians 1:4 (The Message)
