Why We Must Be Holy

[Bible Speaks]

Why We Must Be Holy 

JEHOVAH expects all of his servants to be holy. Even though holiness is mentioned throughout the entire Bible, this quality is most often referred to in the book of Leviticus. Understanding and appreciating this book will help us to know how we can be holy.

"You must be holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:45)

As Jehovah’s worshippers, all of us must follow the example of Jesus, who kept his integrity to God. We must strictly obey God’s guidance found in the Bible and in this way avoid “grieving God’s holy spirit.” (Ephesians 4:30) Be determined to make “straight paths for your feet.”—Hebrews 12:13.

SOME EXPRESSIONS EXPLAINED
* To be holy: To be morally and physically pure and clean. Also, to be exclusively devoted to doing Jehovah’s will. We remain holy when we live in a way that pleases Jehovah and avoid doing anything that is condemned in the Bible
