Holy

Be holy. That is the simple requirement. There is only one reason given. "Because I am holy!"
God is straight forward with this one. His standards for His people are high. There is now reason in all the universe that His requirement should be any less. Why? Because our ability to be holy, as He requires, rests solely in Him. In and of ourselves, we can not be holy in any way, shape, or form. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. God, in His holiness has made the way for us to be holy. He, as He alone is holy, is the only one who could make that provision. And there could be only one provision. Himself alone. For the provision must be holy if it is to provide holiness. And He alone is holy. "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21. He is the requirement. He made the requirement. He provided for the requirement. Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
