Holiness is not what they think.
The World is deeply suspicious of Christians’ talk of “holiness”. That’s because it sounds to them like “exclusivity” and “superiority”. More judgementalism and selfishness! A holy God who wants EVERYONE to join him cannot be exclusive, nor is he trying to remain superior. But holiness does mean “seperate”. That’s just basic laws of physics: like a archer selecting an arrow or a craftswan a piece of wood, to set anything in motion with a purpose, it must be seperated from its frame of reference. To be accurate and durable — to fly true or not rot — it must be completely free of all that would contaminate its journey. That’s holiness!
